I have some abstract class and some classes that inheritance from it. I want to make JUNIT tester for it. I tried use reflect on the sub classes but in this way I cant see the private variables in the absract class. how can I get to, Or maybe I can create instance of the abstract class for this?

By definition it's impossible to create an instance of an abstract class. – PM 77-1 Apr 10 '14 at 01:53

1[What's the proper way to test a class with private methods using JUnit?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34571/whats-the-proper-way-to-test-a-class-with-private-methods-using-junit) explains how to use `setAccessible` which works for fields as well as methods. – Mike Samuel Apr 10 '14 at 01:59

To see all fields of a class use Class.getDeclaredFields()

And to test if the field is private or not, you can use `Field.getModifiers()`. – roll1987 Apr 10 '14 at 02:39
