# Class ReflectionUtils

    public class ReflectionUtils
    extends Object

This class contains utility methods to determine which class called the current class to multiple levels of depth. Calls used to handle the groovy MOP are excluded from the level counting.

- ## Method Details

  - ### isCallingClassReflectionAvailable

    public static boolean isCallingClassReflectionAvailable()
    Determines whether or not the getCallingClass methods will return any sensible results. On JVMs that are not Sun derived i.e. (gcj, Harmony) this will likely return false. When not available all getCallingClass methods will return null.
    Returns:
      true if getCallingClass can return anything but null, false if it will only return null.

  - ### getCallingClass

    public static Class getCallingClass()
    Gets the immediate calling class, ignoring MOP frames.
    Returns:
      The Class of the caller

  - ### getCallingClass

    public static Class getCallingClass​(int matchLevel)
    Gets the called that is matchLevel stack frames before the call, ignoring MOP frames.
    Parameters:
      `matchLevel` - how may call stacks down to look. If it is less than 1 it is treated as though it was 1.
    Returns:
      The Class of the matched caller, or null if there aren't enough stackframes to satisfy matchLevel

  - ### getCallingClass

    public static Class getCallingClass​(int matchLevel, Collection<String> extraIgnoredPackages)
    Gets the called that is matchLevel stack frames before the call, ignoring MOP frames and desired exclude packages.
    Parameters:
      `matchLevel` - how may call stacks down to look. If it is less than 1 it is treated as though it was 1.
      `extraIgnoredPackages` - A collection of string names of packages to exclude in addition to the MOP packages when counting stack frames.
    Returns:
      The Class of the matched caller, or null if there aren't enough stackframes to satisfy matchLevel

  - ### getDeclaredMethods

    public static List<Method> getDeclaredMethods​(Class<?> type, String name, Class<?>... parameterTypes)

  - ### getMethods

    public static List<Method> getMethods​(Class<?> type, String name, Class<?>... parameterTypes)

  - ### checkCanSetAccessible

  - ### checkAccessible

    public static boolean checkAccessible​(Class<?> callerClass, Class<?> declaringClass, int memberModifiers, boolean allowIllegalAccess)

  - ### trySetAccessible

    public static Optional<AccessibleObject> makeAccessibleInPrivilegedAction​(AccessibleObject ao)

  - ### makeAccessible

    public static Optional<AccessibleObject> makeAccessible​(AccessibleObject ao)

  - ### makeAccessible

    public static AccessibleObject[] makeAccessible​(AccessibleObject[] aoa)

  - ### isSealed
