This chapter includes 17 problems that involve the Java Reflection API. From classical topics such as inspecting and instantiating Java artifacts (for example, modules, packages, classes, interfaces, superclasses, constructors, methods, annotations, and arrays) to synthetic and bridge constructs or nest-based access control (JDK 11), this chapter provides solid coverage of the Java Reflection API. By the end of this chapter, the Java Reflection API will have no secrets left unturned, and you will be ready to show your colleagues what reflection can do.
