MethodDesc (Cojen 2.2.5 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.cojen.classfile.Descriptor
- - org.cojen.classfile.MethodDesc

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class MethodDesc
extends Descriptor
implements Serializable
```
This class is used to build method descriptor strings as defined in The Java Virtual Machine Specification. MethodDesc instances are canonicalized and therefore "==" comparable.
