If you compile and run the following program it indicates that the value of the
modifiers on method m is 2 and om is zero indicating that the method m is
private and method pm has default access, however the JLS (2nd Ed) on page 172
section 8.4.3.3 states that a Private method and all methods declared in a
final class are implicitly final ......

This would appear to indicate that the modifier values for m should be 0x12 and
0x10 for pm.


import java.lang.reflect.*;

final class fc
{

private int m(){ return 1;}

private class Inner {
int pm(){ return 20;}
}


public static void main(String argv[])
{

try {
Class cx = fc.class;
java.lang.reflect.Method mt = cx.getDeclaredMethod("m",
null);
System.out.println("Modifiers for m are "+
mt.getModifiers());

cx = Inner.class;
mt = cx.getDeclaredMethod("pm", null);
System.out.println("Modifiers for pm are "+
mt.getModifiers());

}catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

}

}
