      • setAccessibleWorkaround

        static boolean setAccessibleWorkaround​(java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject o)
        XXX Default access superclass workaround. When a public class has a default access superclass with public members, these members are accessible. Calling them from compiled code works fine. Unfortunately, on some JVMs, using reflection to invoke these members seems to (wrongly) prevent access even when the modifier is public. Calling setAccessible(true) solves the problem but will only work from sufficiently privileged code. Better workarounds would be gratefully accepted.
        Parameters:
        o - the AccessibleObject to set as accessible
        Returns:
        a boolean indicating whether the accessibility of the object was set to true.

        Parameters:
        modifiers - to test
        Returns:
        true unless package/protected/private modifier detected
      • isAccessible

        static boolean isAccessible​(java.lang.reflect.Member m)
        Returns whether a Member is accessible.
        Parameters:
        m - Member to check
        Returns:
        true if m is accessible
