Please stop this nonsense "where it should be". Code will be where people write it - if someone wants to write and maintain reflection code in clazz, do so. Same for lang, beanutils, ant or tomcat. If you don't want to maintain the reflection code in beanutils - don't. You can't block a change or a feature because some other component implements it. The charter allows duplicated features, so I don't consider this a valid veto reason.
