Simply pass a method reference to Executables
class. This will provide you with a java.lang.reflect.Method or a java.lang.reflect.Constructor.
// Get method
Method containsMethod = Executables.findMethod(String::contains);
// Get another method
Method getPropertyMethod = Executables.findMethod(MyBean::getProperty);
// Get method that throws checked exception
Method exceptionThrowingMethod = Executables.findMethod(Files::deleteIfExists);
// To get vararg method, you must specify parameters in generics
Method varargMethod = Executables.<Path, FileAttribute<?>[]> findMethod(Files::createDirectories);
// Get constructor
Constructor<MyBean> ctor = Executables.findConstructor(MyBean::new);
Notice that you have to provide the method parameters in generics under certain circumstances (When the method is overloaded, or if the method has a varargs parameter).
