Registered by Jesper Öqvist

To what extent should Java Reflections be implemented. Some parts of the core standard library depend on reflections. Should we work around this or implement complete support for reflections?

Whiteboard

2010-12-03 jesper: Full support for reflections could mean a big performance hit mainly due to the extra memory required for each Class object. In most common usage scenarios we are not really interested in reflections, and the extra memory required would be wasted.
