Is possible to get variable name in java?

[Eswar Nec]

Hi,
I have two class. I want to get first class variable name. Not value.

First.java

 
Class First
{
      public String publicName;
     private String privateName;
}
   

Second.java

   
Class Second
{
     public static void main(String args[])  
     {
           //Here i need fist class varaible name(myName).  Not value.   
      }
}
 

Is possible?
Help me.
Thanks in advance.

Via reflection : Class#getFields() will return an array of fields. You can get their name via Field#getName()

Thanks Christophe Verré and subhash kumar for your support.

 
public class Second
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {                           
            Field fld[] = First.class.getDeclaredFields();
            for (int i = 0; i < fld.length; i++)
            {
                System.out.println("Variable Name is : " + fld[i].getName());
            }                       
    }
}

Why do you need the variable name?
