"Java Reflection Tutorial"

This guide is about reflection, the ability of a computer program to examine and modify the structure and behavior (specifically the values, meta-data, properties and functions) of the program at runtime.

We are going to explain what reflection is in general and how can be used in Java. Real uses cases about different reflection uses are listed in the next chapters.

Several code snippets will be shown; at the end of this tutorial you can find a compressed file that contains all these examples (and some more).

All code has been written using Eclipse Luna 4.4 and Java update 8.25, no third party libraries are needed.
