The Permission class for reflective operations. A
ReflectPermission is a named permission and has no
actions. The only name currently defined is suppressAccessChecks,
which allows suppressing the standard Java language access checks
-- for public, default (package) access, protected, and private
members -- performed by reflected objects at their point of use.
The following table
provides a summary description of what the permission allows,
and discusses the risks of granting code the permission.
