Synthetic Class in Java

Question

What is a synthetic class in Java? Why should it be used? How can I use it?

Answer 1

Synthetic constructs are classes, methods, fields etc that do not have a corresponding construct in the source code. Synthetic constructs enable Java compilers to implement new Java language features without changes to the JVM. However, synthetic constructs can vary among different Java compiler implementations, which means that .class files can vary among different implementations as well.
