Modifier

Synopsis

This class defines a number of constants and static methods that can interpret the integer values returned by the getModifiers( ) methods of the Field, Method, and Constructor classes. The isPublic( ) , isAbstract( ), and related methods return true if the modifier value includes the specified modifier; otherwise, they return false. The constants defined by this class specify the various bit flags used in the modifiers value. You can use these constants to test for modifiers if you want to perform your own boolean algebra.
