/**
* Provides classes and interfaces for obtaining reflective
* information about classes and objects. Reflection allows
* programmatic access to information about the fields, methods and
* constructors of loaded classes, and the use of reflected fields,
* methods, and constructors to operate on their underlying
* counterparts, within security restrictions.
*
* <p>{@code AccessibleObject} allows suppression of access checks if
* the necessary {@code ReflectPermission} is available.
*
* <p>{@code Array} provides static methods to dynamically create and
* access arrays.
*
* <p>Classes in this package, along with {@code java.lang.Class}
* accommodate applications such as debuggers, interpreters, object
* inspectors, class browsers, and services such as Object
* Serialization and JavaBeans that need access to either the public
* members of a target object (based on its runtime class) or the
* members declared by a given class.
*
* @since JDK1.1
