Reflection Utils

Simple library that changes the base Reflection API on Java, making it easier to work with. It uses cowtowncoder/java-classmate for type parsing.

Features

ReflectionUtils

Utility class with common functions not found on Class<?> API

• isInnerClass(Class<?> clazz) : returns true if this class is an inner class, that is, if it is a non-static nested class (either annonymous, method local or class local)
• getImmediateFields(Class<?> clazz) : returns all the fields (all visibilities) immediate from this class, excluding static and synthetic fields
• getFieldsRecursively(Class<?> clazz) : like getImmediateFields, but goes up class hierarchy adding parent classes fields as well, except for Java classes fields
• getFieldsRecursivelyIncludingJavaClasses(Class<?> clazz) : like getFieldsRecursively, but add Java classes fields, like the array inside String class

TypedClass

You can now convert your classes to this convenient wrapper. Call TypedClass.create using a Field object.
The returned TypedClass is like a class, but with tons of neat features, allowing for easy access to the new TYPE_USE Java 8's annotation target annotations.
