I would rather argue that: - Template Haskell approx. *compile-time* reflection - Scrap your boilerplate II (ICFP 2004) approx. *run-time* reflection - Generic Haskell is effectively a Haskell generator Ralf P.S.: Another way to get *compile-time* reflection in Haskell is of course type-level programming as pioneered by McBride and Hallgreen ...

I do not know of any Java-like reflection capabilities in Haskell. However, "Scrap Your Boilerplate" (search google) and Generic Haskell can do a lot of the same stuff reflection can do in Java. Think of it as compile-time reflection.
