      Convenience for getting a method from a class.
      static MethodDescription  declaringClass,  name, ... parameterTypes)
      Uses getMethod(Class, String, Class...) and wraps the result as a MethodDescription.
      static boolean  typeName)
      Determines if the provided type name is a primitive type.
      static nextUID()
      Returns a string that can be used as part of a Java identifier and is unique for this JVM.
      static  type)
      Converts a type (including array and primitive types) to their type name (the way they are represented in Java source files).
      static [] [] types)

      • nextUID

        public static  nextUID()
        Returns a string that can be used as part of a Java identifier and is unique for this JVM. Currently returns a hexadecimal string and initialized by System.nanoTime() (but both those details may change in the future). Note that the returned value may start with a numeric digit, so it should be used as a suffix, not prefix of a Java identifier.
        Returns:
        unique id that can be used as part of a Java identifier

      • toTypeName

        public static   type)
        Converts a type (including array and primitive types) to their type name (the way they are represented in Java source files).

      • toTypeNames

        public static [] [] types)
        Converts a number of types (usually, arguments to a method or constructor) into their type names.

      • toWrapperType

        public static   type)
        Gets the wrapper type for a given type (if primitive)
        Parameters:
        type - type to look up
        Returns:
        the input type for non-primitive type, or corresponding wrapper type (Boolean.class for boolean.class, etc.)
