checkClass

checks a Java object or classname and displays its methods, enumerations & interfaces

Description

checkClass inspects the specified java object reference or class-name, and reports its superclass(es), new/modified methods, interfaces, enumerations, sub-classes and annotations.

This utility complements the more detailed UIINSPECT utility (see link below) by being Command-Prompt based and also by highlighting the object components that were modified in the inspected class compared to its parent superclass.

Syntax:
    checkClass(javaClassName)
    checkClass(javaObjectReference)
    checkClass(...,level) % default level=inf

Examples:
    checkClass('java.lang.String')
    checkClass(javax.swing.JButton)

    jButton=javax.swing.JButton('Click me!');
    jButton.checkClass;

    checkClass(com.mathworks.mwswing.MJToolBar)
    checkClass(com.mathworks.mde.desk.MLDesktop.getInstance)
