      `java.lang.reflect.AccessFlag` models individual access flags that may be represented by the same bits in different locations, or `class` file structures, in which the access flags appear. This release adds new accessor methods, `flags` and `flagsMask`, to `AccessFlag.Location`, which allow users to obtain all bits with a defined access flag and those defined flags for a location.

      The behavior of `AccessFlag.SYNTHETIC` has changed. Previous releases treated it incorrectly as if it was introduced in Java SE Platform 7. This release corrects it to be available since Java SE Platform 5.0.
