+/**
+ * Provides classes and interfaces for obtaining reflective
+ * information about classes and objects.  Reflection allows
+ * programmatic access to information about the fields, methods and
+ * constructors of loaded classes, and the use of reflected fields,
+ * methods, and constructors to operate on their underlying
+ * counterparts, within security restrictions.
+ *
+ * <p>{@code AccessibleObject} allows suppression of access checks if
+ * the necessary {@code ReflectPermission} is available.
+ *
+ * <p>{@code Array} provides static methods to dynamically create and
+ * access arrays.
+ *
+ * <p>Classes in this package, along with {@code 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.
+ *
+ * @since JDK1.1
