All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

CachedMethod, CallSiteAwareMetaMethod, ClosureMetaMethod, ClosureStaticMetaMethod, GeneratedMetaMethod, MixinInstanceMetaMethod, ReflectionMetaMethod, TransformMetaMethod

public abstract class MetaMethod
extends ParameterTypes
implements Cloneable

Represents a Method on a Java object a little like Method except without using reflection to invoke the method
