Constructor Summary
`FieldAttributes(Field f)` Constructs a Field Attributes object from the `f`.

Method Summary
`
`<T extends Annotation> T`
` | `getAnnotation(Class<T> annotation)` Return the `T` annotation object from this field if it exist; otherwise returns `null`.
`Collection<Annotation>` | `getAnnotations()` Return the annotations that are present on this field.
`Class<?>` | `getDeclaredClass()` Returns the `Class` object that was declared for this field.
`Type` | `getDeclaredType()` For example, assume the following class definition:
     public class Foo {
       private String bar;
       private List<String> red;
     }

     Type listParmeterizedType = new TypeToken<List<String>>() {}.getType();
`Class<?>` | `getDeclaringClass()`
`String` | `getName()`
`boolean` | `hasModifier(int modifier)` Returns `true` if the field is defined with the `modifier`.

Constructor Detail

### FieldAttributes

    public FieldAttributes(Field f)

  Constructs a Field Attributes object from the `f`.

  Parameters:
    `f` - the field to pull attributes from

Method Detail

### getDeclaringClass

    public Class<?> getDeclaringClass()

  Returns:
    the declaring class that contains this field

### getName

    public String getName()

  Returns:
    the name of the field

### getDeclaredType

    public Type getDeclaredType()

  For example, assume the following class definition:

       public class Foo {
         private String bar;
         private List<String> red;
       }

       Type listParmeterizedType = new TypeToken<List<String>>() {}.getType();

  This method would return `String.class` for the `bar` field and `listParameterizedType` for the `red` field.

  Returns:
    the specific type declared for this field

### getDeclaredClass

    public Class<?> getDeclaredClass()

  Returns the `Class` object that was declared for this field.

  For example, assume the following class definition:

       public class Foo {
         private String bar;
         private List<String> red;
       }

  This method would return `String.class` for the `bar` field and `List.class` for the `red` field.

  Returns:
    the specific class object that was declared for the field

### getAnnotation

    public <T extends Annotation> T getAnnotation(Class<T> annotation)

  Return the `T` annotation object from this field if it exist; otherwise returns `null`.

  Parameters:
    `annotation` - the class of the annotation that will be retrieved
  Returns:
    the annotation instance if it is bound to the field; otherwise `null`

### getAnnotations

    public Collection<Annotation> getAnnotations()

  Return the annotations that are present on this field.

  Returns:
    an array of all the annotations set on the field
  Since:
    1.4

### hasModifier

    public boolean hasModifier(int modifier)

  Returns `true` if the field is defined with the `modifier`.

  This method is meant to be called as:

       boolean hasPublicModifier = fieldAttribute.hasModifier(java.lang.reflect.Modifier.PUBLIC);
