The java.lang.reflect.Modifier class contains methods used to get information about class, member and method access modifiers. The modifiers are represented as int value with set bits at distinct positions. The int value represents different modifiers. These values are taken from the tables in sections 4.1, 4.4, 4.5, and 4.7 of The JVM Specification.
