Class Synthetic

java.lang.Object
org.apache.bcel.classfile.Attribute
org.apache.bcel.classfile.Synthetic
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Node

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.
