title: Java: Is it possible to get the default value of a field without instantation?
body: <p>I have a Java class that I cannot instantiate directly. I need to know what is the default value of one of its fields.</p>
  
  <p>e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Class Foo {
    private Bar field = new Bar("baz"); // can I know that field 
                                        // is set to new Bar("baz")?
  }
  </code></pre>
