Technically a constructor is not a Member either, but the reflection API can get away with lumping constructors in with methods. The JLS definition of Member comes from 8.1.6 and 8.2 - the key definition being in 8.1.6: "A class body may contain declarations of members of the class, that is, fields (§8.3), methods (§8.4), classes (§8.5), and interfaces (§8.5)." ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7468
