AccessibleObject is the superclass of all member reflection classes
(Field, Constructor, Method). AccessibleObject provides the ability to toggle
a flag controlling access checks for these objects. By default, accessing a
member (for example, setting a field or invoking a method) checks the
validity of the access (for example, invoking a private method from outside
the defining class is prohibited) and throws IllegalAccessException if the
operation is not permitted. If the accessible flag is set to true, these
checks are omitted. This allows privileged code, such as Java object
serialization, object inspectors, and debuggers to have complete access to
objects.

nullReturns, for this element, an array containing all annotations (including inherited annotations). If there are no annotations present, this method returns a zero length array.
