Class JavaMethodName

java.lang.Object
  org.treebind.DefaultNameImplementation
      org.treebind.JavaMethodName

All Implemented Interfaces:

Name

public class JavaMethodName

extends DefaultNameImplementation

implements Name

Implementation of the Name interface to represent Java mathod names (composed of a local name). This class that tries to capture the role implied by a method is less straightforward than it would seem and, unless "guess" is false, methods such as "setFoo", "addFoo", "getFoo" and "getFoos" share the same name
