    • getDeclaringClass

      Class<?> getDeclaringClass()
      Returns the Class object representing the class or interface that declares the member or constructor represented by this Member.
      Returns:
      an object representing the declaring class of the underlying member

    • getName

      String getName()
      Returns the simple name of the underlying member or constructor represented by this Member.
      Returns:
      the simple name of the underlying member

    • getModifiers

      int getModifiers()
      Returns the Java language modifiers for the member or constructor represented by this Member, as an integer. The Modifier class should be used to decode the modifiers in the integer.
      Returns:
      the Java language modifiers for the underlying member

      default Set<AccessFlag> accessFlags()
      Returns an unmodifiable set of the access flags for this member, possibly empty.
      Implementation Requirements:
      The default implementation throws UnsupportedOperationException.
      Returns:
