Class Reflector

java.lang.Object
net.sf.antcontrib.util.Reflector
public class Reflector extends Object
Utility class to handle reflection on java objects. Its main purpose is to allow ant-contrib classes to compile under ant1.5 but allow the classes to use ant1.6 classes and code if present. The class is a holder class for an object and uses java reflection to call methods on the objects. If things go wrong, BuildExceptions are thrown.
