Represents the declaration of a method. Static methods have an additional fact ”modifierT(ID, 'static')”, where ID is the #id value of the method. Note that (since JT 2.8) constructors are represented separately by constructorT facts and static initializers are represented by classInitializerT facts (see migration tips).

#id: id
the unique ID of this method.

#class: classT
the ID of the class containing this method.

'name': atom
the name of the declared method

[#param_1,…]: paramT
the list of IDs of the method parameters.

#type: a Type reference
the id of the return type of the method

[#exception_1,…]: typeRefT
list of IDs of checked exceptions thrown by this method.

#body: blockT or 'null'
ID of the block containing the method body

class HelloWorld  {                        // -> classT below
  public static void main(String[] args)   // -> methodT and modifierT below
  {                                        // -> blockT below
    System.out.println("Hello World!");    // omitted below
  }
}

classT(#class, #compilationUnit, 'HelloWorld', [..., #meth]).
methodT(#meth, #class, 'main', [#param], #type, [], #body).
modifierT(#meth,'static').
paramT(#param, ...).
