Getting local variable names and their data types in a java program

[Amol Parikh]

I am writing a code which gets all the function names, function parameters , return type ,variable names as well as their data types using the reflection API. The problem I am facing is the information related to the variables is limited only to static class variables. I would also like to get the names and data types of the local variables inside different methods as well. If you guys could help me out with it. Thanks a lot...

You don't get static variables only. You can also get instance variables using the clazz.getFields() method.
You however, cannot get local variables declared in methods using reflection. For that you'd need some debugging API and byte code manipulation languages like ASM.
You should try to find reasons not to have to do any of this.

What do you mean when you say some debugging api?

Again, please do yourself a favor and find/invent reasons for not having to do this.
