AnnotatedArrayType represents the potentially annotated use of an array type, whose component type may itself represent the annotated use of a type.
AnnotatedParameterizedType represents the potentially annotated use of a parameterized type, whose type arguments may themselves represent annotated uses of types.
AnnotatedType represents the potentially annotated use of a type in the program currently running in this VM.
AnnotatedTypeVariable represents the potentially annotated use of a type variable, whose declaration may have bounds which themselves represent annotated uses of types.
AnnotatedWildcardType represents the potentially annotated use of a wildcard type argument, whose upper or lower bounds may themselves represent annotated uses of types.
GenericArrayType represents an array type whose component type is either a parameterized type or a type variable.
InvocationHandler is the interface implemented by the
invocation handler of a proxy instance.

Array class provides static methods to dynamically create and access Java arrays.
Constructor provides information about, and access to, a single constructor for a class.
Method and
Constructor.
Field provides information about, and dynamic access to, a single field of a class or an interface.
Method provides information about, and access to, a single method on a class or interface.
static methods and constants to decode class and member access modifiers.
Proxy provides static methods for creating dynamic proxy classes and instances, and it is also the superclass of all dynamic proxy classes created by those methods.
the java.lang.reflect package attempts to read method parameters from a class file and determines that one or more parameters are malformed.
invoke method throws a checked exception (a
Throwable that is not assignable to
RuntimeException or
Error) that is not assignable to any of the exception types declared in the
throws clause of the method that was invoked on the proxy instance and dispatched to the invocation handler.
AccessibleObject allows suppression of access checks if the necessary ReflectPermission is available.
Array provides static methods to dynamically create and access arrays.
Classes in this package, along with java.lang.Class accommodate applications such as debuggers, interpreters, object inspectors, class browsers, and services such as Object Serialization and JavaBeans that need access to either the public members of a target object (based on its runtime class) or the members declared by a given class.
