Provides the caller with the capability to instantiate reflective
objects.

 First, if there is a security manager, its checkPermission method is called with a RuntimePermission with target "reflectionFactoryAccess". This may result in a security exception. 
 The returned ReflectionFactory object should be carefully guarded by the caller, since it can be used to read and write private data and invoke private methods, as well as to load unverified bytecodes. It must never be passed to untrusted code. 
Throws:
  • SecurityException – if a security manager exists and its checkPermission method doesn't allow access to the RuntimePermission "reflectionFactoryAccess".
Returns:the ReflectionFactory
