| Helper for resolving synthetic
Method.isBridge bridge Methods to the
Method being bridged.
Given a synthetic
Method.isBridge bridge Method returns the
Method being bridged. A bridge method may be created by the compiler when extending a
parameterized type whose methods have parameterized arguments. During runtime
invocation the bridge
Method may be invoked and/or used via reflection.
When attempting to locate annotations on
Method Methods , it is wise to check
for bridge
Method Methods as appropriate and find the bridged
Method .
See
The Java Language Specification for more details on the use of bridge methods.
Only usable on JDK 1.5 and higher. Use an appropriate
JdkVersion check before calling this class, if a fallback for JDK 1.3/1.4 is desirable.
