How is Reflection Implemented in Java?

Viewed 1207

The Java 7 Language Specifications say pretty early on:

"this specification does not describe reflection in any detail."

I'm wondering just that: how is Reflection implemented in Java?

I'm not asking how it's used, and I understand there might not be as specific an answer I'm looking for, but any information would be much appreciated.

I've found this on Stackoverflow, the analogous question about C#: How is reflection implemented in C#?
