add CtTypeInformation.getDeclaredOrInheritedField(fieldName)

[pvojtechovsky]

Here you are. New PR just for CtTypeInformation.getDeclaredOrInheritedField(fieldName). Including some tests.

now that we have shadow classes, I'd propose to put those two methods in CtType and the methods would return CtField (instead of CtFieldReference)

[monperrus]

well, no, because it would not be aligned with the rest of the design. ideally, now that we have shadow classes, we could get rid of CtTypeInformation that returns references.

What do you mean by shadow classes?

In case of PrettyPrinting the references to fields are better, Because their creation is less expensive. PrettyPrinting needs only field name so reference is good.

Anyway I am not sure what exactly would you expect. I do not feel need for that change.

[monperrus]

that's fine this way.

What do you mean by shadow classes?

CtClasses built by runtime reflection (hence with no method body)
