New as of JDK 1.1
The Field class represents a variable or constant in a class. A Field object can be obtained by calling the getField() method of a Class object. Field includes methods for getting the name, modifiers, type, and declaring class of a field. The class also provides methods that can set and retrieve the value of a field for a particular object.
