+ * The AccessibleObject class is the base class for Field, Method and
+ * Constructor objects.  It provides the ability to flag a reflected
+ * object as suppressing default Java language access control checks
+ * when it is used.  The access checks--for public, default (package)
+ * access, protected, and private members--are performed when Fields,
+ * Methods or Constructors are used to set or get fields, to invoke
+ * methods, or to create and initialize new instances of classes,
+ * respectively.
+ *
+ * <p>Setting the {@code accessible} flag in a reflected object
+ * permits sophisticated applications with sufficient privilege, such
+ * as Java Object Serialization or other persistence mechanisms, to
+ * manipulate objects in a manner that would normally be prohibited.
+ *
+ * <p>By default, a reflected object is <em>not</em> accessible.
