I have classes

class A {
   B b,
   C c,
}

class B {
   int d
}

class C {
   int e
}

If I ask for fields of A, I should get "b", "c", "b.d", "c.e". This could go to multiple levels.I dont want to do this on an object, only on the class. Is this possible to do? And if so can someone point me to the right direction?

    You can achieve this by A.getClass().getDeclaredFields(), then go with recursive function to resolve all names, but beware of cyclic references.
