048/**
049 * The Method class represents a member method of a class. It also allows
050 * dynamic invocation, via reflection. This works for both static and
051 * instance methods. Invocation on Method objects knows how to do
052 * widening conversions, but throws {@link IllegalArgumentException} if
053 * a narrowing conversion would be necessary. You can query for information
054 * on this Method regardless of location, but invocation access may be limited
055 * by Java language access controls. If you can't do it in the compiler, you
056 * can't normally do it here either.<p>
057 *
058 * <B>Note:</B> This class returns and accepts types as Classes, even
059 * primitive types; there are Class types defined that represent each
060 * different primitive type.  They are <code>java.lang.Boolean.TYPE,
061 * java.lang.Byte.TYPE,</code>, also available as <code>boolean.class,
062 * byte.class</code>, etc.  These are not to be confused with the
063 * classes <code>java.lang.Boolean, java.lang.Byte</code>, etc., which are
064 * real classes.<p>
065 *
066 * Also note that this is not a serializable class.  It is entirely feasible
067 * to make it serializable using the Externalizable interface, but this is
068 * on Sun, not me.
