boolean	isSynthetic()	Returns true if this member was introduced by the compiler; returns false otherwise.

Field Details

PUBLIC

static final int PUBLIC

Identifies the set of all public members of a class or interface, including inherited members.

Method Details

getDeclaringClass

Class<?> getDeclaringClass()

Returns the Class object representing the class or interface that declares the member or constructor represented by this Member.

Returns:

an object representing the declaring class of the underlying member

getName

String getName()

Returns the simple name of the underlying member or constructor represented by this Member.

Returns:

the simple name of the underlying member

getModifiers

int getModifiers()

Returns the Java language modifiers for the member or constructor represented by this Member, as an integer. The Modifier class should be used to decode the modifiers in the integer.

Returns:

the Java language modifiers for the underlying member

accessFlags

default Set<AccessFlag> accessFlags()

Returns an unmodifiable set of the access flags for this member, possibly empty.

Implementation Requirements:

The default implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException.

Returns:

an unmodifiable set of the access flags for this member, possibly empty
