• Interface Summary 

  Interface	Description
  AnnotatedArrayType	AnnotatedArrayType represents the potentially annotated use of an array type, whose component type may itself represent the annotated use of a type.
  AnnotatedElement	Represents an annotated element of the program currently running in this VM.
  AnnotatedParameterizedType	AnnotatedParameterizedType represents the potentially annotated use of a parameterized type, whose type arguments may themselves represent annotated uses of types.
  AnnotatedType	AnnotatedType represents the potentially annotated use of a type in the program currently running in this VM.
  AnnotatedTypeVariable	AnnotatedTypeVariable represents the potentially annotated use of a type variable, whose declaration may have bounds which themselves represent annotated uses of types.
  AnnotatedWildcardType	AnnotatedWildcardType represents the potentially annotated use of a wildcard type argument, whose upper or lower bounds may themselves represent annotated uses of types.
  GenericArrayType	GenericArrayType represents an array type whose component type is either a parameterized type or a type variable.
  GenericDeclaration	A common interface for all entities that declare type variables.
  InvocationHandler	InvocationHandler is the interface implemented by the invocation handler of a proxy instance.
  Member	Member is an interface that reflects identifying information about a single member (a field or a method) or a constructor.
  ParameterizedType	ParameterizedType represents a parameterized type such as Collection<String>.
  Type	Type is the common superinterface for all types in the Java programming language.
  TypeVariable<D extends GenericDeclaration>	TypeVariable is the common superinterface for type variables of kinds.
  WildcardType	WildcardType represents a wildcard type expression, such as ?, ? extends Number, or ? super Integer.

• Class Summary 

  Class	Description
  AccessibleObject	The AccessibleObject class is the base class for Field, Method and Constructor objects.
  Array	The Array class provides static methods to dynamically create and access Java arrays.
  Constructor<T>	Constructor provides information about, and access to, a single constructor for a class.
  Executable	A shared superclass for the common functionality of Method and Constructor.
  Field	A Field provides information about, and dynamic access to, a single field of a class or an interface.
  Method	A Method provides information about, and access to, a single method on a class or interface.
  Modifier	The Modifier class provides static methods and constants to decode class and member access modifiers.
  Parameter	Information about method parameters.
  Proxy	Proxy provides static methods for creating dynamic proxy classes and instances, and it is also the superclass of all dynamic proxy classes created by those methods.
  ReflectPermission	The Permission class for reflective operations.

• Exception Summary 

  Exception	Description
  InvocationTargetException	InvocationTargetException is a checked exception that wraps an exception thrown by an invoked method or constructor.
  MalformedParameterizedTypeException	Thrown when a semantically malformed parameterized type is encountered by a reflective method that needs to instantiate it.
  MalformedParametersException	Thrown when the java.lang.reflect package attempts to read method parameters from a class file and determines that one or more parameters are malformed.
  UndeclaredThrowableException	Thrown by a method invocation on a proxy instance if its invocation handler's invoke method throws a checked exception (a Throwable that is not assignable to RuntimeException or Error) that is not assignable to any of the exception types declared in the throws clause of the method that was invoked on the proxy instance and dispatched to the invocation handler.

• Error Summary 

  Error	Description
  GenericSignatureFormatError	Thrown when a syntactically malformed signature attribute is encountered by a reflective method that needs to interpret the generic signature information for a type, method or constructor.
