Generic toString()

Do you ever want a descriptive toString() of a class you just created, but don't feel like taking the time to write it? Here's a generic toString() that uses the java.lang.reflect package and will work in any class.

Note:
This isn't the end-all generic toString() method. It does the bare minimum of printing out each field and its value with the added ability to handle null values and arrays.

@Override
public String toString() {
    Field[] fields = getClass().getDeclaredFields();
    AccessibleObject.setAccessible(fields,true);

    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    sb.append("Class: " + this.getClass().getName() + "\n");

    for (Field field : fields) {
        Object value = null;
        try {
            value = field.get(this);
        } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {continue;}

        sb.append("\tField \"" + field.getName() + "\"\n");

        Class fieldType = field.getType();
        sb.append("\t\tType:  ");

        if (fieldType.isArray()) {
            Class subType = fieldType.getComponentType();
            int length = Array.getLength(value);
            sb.append(subType.getName() + "[" + length + "]" + "\n");

            for (int i = 0; i < length; i ++) {
                Object obj = Array.get(value,i);
                sb.append("\t\tValue " + i + ":  " + obj + "\n");
            }
        } else {
            sb.append(fieldType.getName() + "\n");
            sb.append("\t\tValue: ");
            sb.append((value == null) ? "NULL" : value.toString());
            sb.append("\n");
        }
    }
    return sb.toString();
}
