This is where I put random/unrelated, but useful stuff.

A Java class intended to be used ONLY FOR DEBUGGING. This class has methods to obtain information about constructors, methods and fields an object has.

Use ClassDescriber.describe(Object obj) for a summary about the object. You can also use describeConstructors(Object), describeMethods(Object), and describeVars(Object) for summarizing constructors, methods, and fields the object has. describeVars also attempts to get the values of public variables of the object, which is especially handy if you are debugging something you can write a patch to, but cannot set up proper debugging tools.

ClassDescriber.describe((byte)42) returns:

Class: java.lang.Byte

Constructors: java.lang.Byte(byte arg0) java.lang.Byte(java.lang.String arg0)

Methods: equals(java.lang.Object arg0) toString(void) toString(byte arg0) hashCode(byte arg0) hashCode(void) compareTo(java.lang.Byte arg0) compareTo(java.lang.Object arg0) byteValue(void) shortValue(void) intValue(void) longValue(void) floatValue(void) doubleValue(void) valueOf(java.lang.String arg0, int arg1) valueOf(java.lang.String arg0) valueOf(byte arg0) decode(java.lang.String arg0) compare(byte arg0, byte arg1) toUnsignedInt(byte arg0) toUnsignedLong(byte arg0) parseByte(java.lang.String arg0) parseByte(java.lang.String arg0, int arg1) compareUnsigned(byte arg0, byte arg1) wait(long arg0) wait(long arg0, int arg1) wait(void) getClass(void) notify(void) notifyAll(void)

Fields: public static final byte MIN_VALUE = -128 public static final byte MAX_VALUE = 127 public static final java.lang.Class TYPE = byte private final byte value public static final int SIZE = 8 public static final int BYTES = 1 private static final long serialVersionUID
