public final class MethodDescription

extends Object

This class provides sufficient information to uniquely identify a method in a class (name and parameters), but not enough to fully describe a method (since it doesn't have return type or exceptions). For that, you need MethodDefinition.

Usually, MethodDescription instances are not created directly. Instead they are accessed through a MethodDefinition.
