Matching accessible methods in a class given parameters.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

I need to obtain using reflection the accessible methods in a class given 
certain parameters.
The parameters do not have necessary the exact types of the method declaration 
parameters (otherwise I could use Class.getDeclaredMethod), but they are 
compatible with them (e.g., parameters (int, int) are compatible with 
parameters (Integer, Number) declared in the method).

I see that in Apache commons there is this method: 
MethodUtils.getMatchingAccessibleMethod

Is there an equivalent method in Guava or any possibility of this to be added 
in a future Guava version ?

Thanks,

Sergio

I was wondering the same thing and so far have not come up with a solution 
using Guava. Does Guava support this? Is there any plan to ever support this?

I don't think that Apache MethodUtils.getMatchingAccessibleMethod does it 
correctly. See
