Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`AnnotatedType[]`	`getAnnotatedExceptionTypes()`	Returns an array of `AnnotatedType` objects that represent the use of types to specify the declared exceptions of the method/constructor represented by this Executable.
`AnnotatedType[]`	`getAnnotatedParameterTypes()`	Returns an array of `AnnotatedType` objects that represent the use of types to specify formal parameter types of the method/constructor represented by this Executable.
`AnnotatedType`	`getAnnotatedReceiverType()`	Returns an `AnnotatedType` object that represents the use of a type to specify the receiver type of the method/constructor represented by this Executable object.
`abstract AnnotatedType`	`getAnnotatedReturnType()`	Returns an `AnnotatedType` object that represents the use of a type to specify the return type of the method/constructor represented by this Executable.
`<T extends Annotation> T`	`getAnnotation(Class<T> annotationClass)`	Returns this element's annotation for the specified type if such an annotation is present, else null.
`<T extends Annotation> T[]`	`getAnnotationsByType(Class<T> annotationClass)`	Returns annotations that are associated with this element.
`Annotation[]`	`getDeclaredAnnotations()`	Returns annotations that are directly present on this element.
`abstract Class<?>`	`getDeclaringClass()`	Returns the `Class` object representing the class or interface that declares the executable represented by this object.
`abstract Class<?>[]`	`getExceptionTypes()`	Returns an array of `Class` objects that represent the types of exceptions declared to be thrown by the underlying executable represented by this object.
`Type[]`	`getGenericExceptionTypes()`	Returns an array of `Type` objects that represent the exceptions declared to be thrown by this executable object.
`Type[]`	`getGenericParameterTypes()`	Returns an array of `Type` objects that represent the formal parameter types, in declaration order, of the executable represented by this object.
`abstract int`	`getModifiers()`	Returns the Java language modifiers for the executable represented by this object.
`abstract String`	`getName()`	Returns the name of the executable represented by this object.
`abstract Annotation[][]`	`getParameterAnnotations()`	Returns an array of arrays of `Annotation`s that represent the annotations on the formal parameters, in declaration order, of the `Executable` represented by this object.
`int`	`getParameterCount()`	Returns the number of formal parameters (whether explicitly declared or implicitly declared or neither) for the executable represented by this object.
`Parameter[]`	`getParameters()`	Returns an array of `Parameter` objects that represent all the parameters to the underlying executable represented by this object.
`abstract Class<?>[]`	`getParameterTypes()`	Returns an array of `Class` objects that represent the formal parameter types, in declaration order, of the executable represented by this object.
`abstract TypeVariable<?>[]`
