    Description

      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:
