# ReflectMaid

A utility project for other [QuantumMaid](https://quantummaid.de/) projects that handles reflections. 

 

## GenericType

A lot of configuration methods throughout the QuantumMaid framework and its sub-probjects (HttpMaid, MapMaid, etc.)

require the user to provide a `java.lang.Class` class. E.g., HttpMaid requires usecases to be configured

by providing the `java.lang.Class` object of the use case class.

Due to limitations of the Java Virtual Machine, `java.lang.Class` objects do not sufficiently

support generic types (see [Type Erasure](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/generics/erasure.html)).

To work around the aforementioned limitation, QuantumMaid offers the `GenericClass` type.

Whenever a configuration method takes a parameter of type `java.lang.Class`, there will be an overloaded variant

of that configuration method that accepts a `GenericType` parameter instead of the `java.lang.Class` parameter.

## Synthetic methods, constructors and fields

[Synthetic methods, constructors and fields](https://www.baeldung.com/java-synthetic) are ignored by ReflectMaid.

This is recommended [to support tools like JaCoCo](https://www.jacoco.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/faq.html).
