    Method that will find all sub-classes and implemented interfaces of a given class or interface. Classes are listed in order of precedence, starting with the immediate super-class, followed by interfaces class directly declares to implemented, and then recursively followed by parent of super-class and so forth. Note that Object.class is not included in the list regardless of whether endBefore argument is defined or not.
    
    Parameters:
    
    endBefore - Super-type to NOT include in results, if any; when encountered, will be ignored (and no super types are checked).

    Parameters:
    
    member - Accessor to call setAccessible() on.
    
    evenIfAlreadyPublic - Whether to always try to make accessor accessible, even if public (true), or only if needed to force by-pass of non-public access (false)

```
public static boolean isJacksonStdImpl(java.lang.Object impl)
```
    Method that can be called to determine if given Object is the default implementation Jackson uses; as opposed to a custom serializer installed by a module or calling application. Determination is done using JacksonStdImpl annotation on handler (serializer, deserializer etc) class.

    Accessor for checking whether given Class is under Java package of java.* or javax.* (including all sub-packages).

    Note: in Jackson 2.11 only returned true for java.* (and not javax.*); was changed in 2.12.
