Reflection is commonly used by programs which require the ability to examine or modify the runtime behavior of applications running in the Java virtual machine. This is a relatively advanced feature and should be used only by developers who have a strong grasp of the fundamentals of the language. With that caveat it mind, reflection is a powerful technique and can enable applications to perform operations which would otherwise be impossible.
