Project Redstone

This project contains common components that are used in my software engineering research. It consists of several modules

Reflection

This module help analyze the reflection objects in JVM (e.g., classes, methods, fields, etc.)

Motivation

JVM reflection API sucks. My goal is to construct a reflection library that

• The classes are non-global. Analysis can be done independently in several scopes. Scopes can be created and destroyed any time.
• The objects are serializable. The class / method objects can be saved and loaded somewhere else.
• Aware of generics. Type parameters and their materialization are available for generic objects. Finer-grained type inference is possible.

Warning

⚠️ This project is in early development stage. The stability of the APIs are not the current focus. Use at your own risk.
