Method Summary All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods  Modifier and Type Method Description Class<?> getDeclaringClass() Returns the Class object representing the class or interface that declares the member or constructor represented by this Member. int getModifiers() Returns the Java language modifiers for the member or constructor represented by this Member, as an integer. String getName() Returns the simple name of the underlying member or constructor represented by this Member. boolean isSynthetic() Returns true if this member was introduced by the compiler; returns false otherwise.
