Access array of type integer from Field through java reflection

Say i have this class

public static final class MyClass { 

    public static final int A = 4 ;

    public static final int[] B = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
}

I have to access above class and its field values through reflections

Class<?> myClass = getDesiredClass("MyClass");

I am able to get the value of A by this

int a = myClass.getField("A").getInt(myClass);

But how to get value of B, what methods of Field should i use?

 int[] b = myClass.getField("B").?

All these are equivalent. I would pick the simplest. ;)

int[] b = MyClass.B;
int[] b = (int[]) MyClass.class.getField("B").get(null);
int[] b = (int[]) Class.forName("MyClass").getField("B").get(null);

An int[] is an Object, so just use (int[]) get(myClass) -- or alternatively, (int[]) get(null), since no argument is needed for static fields.
