## groovy.lang
[Java] Class MetaMethod

    java.lang.Object
      org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.ParameterTypes
          groovy.lang.MetaMethod

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cloneable

    public abstract class MetaMethod
    extends ParameterTypes

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