- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Field

          public Field(Field c)

      Initialize from another object. Note that both objects use the same references (shallow copy). Use clone() for a physical copy.

    - #### Field

          public Field(int access_flags,
                       int name_index,
                       int signature_index,
                       Attribute[] attributes,
                       ConstantPool constant_pool)

      Parameters:
        `access_flags` - Access rights of field
        `name_index` - Points to field name in constant pool
        `signature_index` - Points to encoded signature
        `attributes` - Collection of attributes
        `constant_pool` - Array of constants

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### accept

          public void accept(Visitor v)

      Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitely defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.
      Parameters:
        `v` - Visitor object

    - #### getConstantValue

          public final ConstantValue getConstantValue()

      Returns:
        constant value associated with this field (may be null)

    - #### toString

          public final String toString()

      Return string representation close to declaration format, `public static final short MAX = 100', e.g..
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        String representation of field, including the signature.

    - #### copy

          public final Field copy(ConstantPool _constant_pool)

      Returns:
        deep copy of this field

    - #### getType

          public Type getType()

      Returns:
        type of field

    - #### getComparator

          public static BCELComparator getComparator()

      Returns:
        Comparison strategy object

    - #### setComparator

          public static void setComparator(BCELComparator comparator)

      Parameters:
        `comparator` - Comparison strategy object

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object obj)

      Return value as defined by given BCELComparator strategy. By default two Field objects are said to be equal when their names and signatures are equal.
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`
      See Also:
        `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Return value as defined by given BCELComparator strategy. By default return the hashcode of the field's name XOR signature.
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`
      See Also:
        `Object.hashCode()`
