Class Synthetic

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.tomcat.util.bcel.classfile.Attribute
      org.apache.tomcat.util.bcel.classfile.Synthetic

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public final class Synthetic
extends Attribute

This class is derived from Attribute and declares this class as `synthetic', i.e., it needs special handling. The JVM specification states "A class member that does not appear in the source code must be marked using a Synthetic attribute." It may appear in the ClassFile attribute table, a field_info table or a method_info table. This class is intended to be instantiated from the Attribute.readAttribute() method.
