/**
*
* Assists in implementing {@link Object#toString()} methods using reflection.
*
*
*
* This class uses reflection to determine the fields to append. Because these fields are usually private, the class
* uses {@link java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject#setAccessible(java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject[], boolean)} to
* change the visibility of the fields. This will fail under a security manager, unless the appropriate permissions are
* set up correctly.
*
*
*
* A typical invocation for this method would look like:
*
*
*
* public String toString() {
* return ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(this);
* }
*
*
*
*
* You can also use the builder to debug 3rd party objects:
*
*
*
* System.out.println("An object: " + ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(anObject));
*
*
*
*
* A subclass can control field output by overriding the methods:
*
* - {@link #accept(java.lang.reflect.Field)}
* - {@link #getValue(java.lang.reflect.Field)}
*
*
*
* For example, this method does not include the password field in the returned
* String:
*
*
*
* public String toString() {
* return (new ReflectionToStringBuilder(this) {
* protected boolean accept(Field f) {
* return super.accept(f) && !f.getName().equals("password");
* }
* }).toString();
* }
*
*
*
*
* The exact format of the toString is determined by the {@link ToStringStyle} passed into the
* constructor.
