             Summary: FieldUtils method returning the fields defined in the 
super classes
                 Key: LANG-873
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-873
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: lang.reflect.*
            Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
            Priority: Minor


{{java.lang.Class.getDeclaredFields()}} doesn't return the fields defined by 
the super classes. I'd like to suggest the addition of a new method in 
FieldUtils that also returns the inherited fields (including the private 
fields).

According to this question on StackOverflow this method would be quite useful:
