    - #### MethodNode

          public MethodNode(java.lang.String name,
                    int modifiers,
                    ClassNode returnType,
                    Parameter[] parameters,
                    ClassNode[] exceptions,
                    Statement code)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getTypeDescriptor

          public java.lang.String getTypeDescriptor()

      The type descriptor for a method node is a string containing the name of the method, its return type, and its parameter types in a canonical form. For simplicity, I'm using the format of a Java declaration without parameter names.
      Returns:
        the type descriptor

    - #### isVoidMethod

          public boolean isVoidMethod()

    - #### getCode

          public Statement getCode()

    - #### setCode

          public void setCode(Statement code)

    - #### getModifiers

          public int getModifiers()

    - #### setModifiers

          public void setModifiers(int modifiers)

    - #### getName

          public java.lang.String getName()

    - #### getParameters

          public void setParameters(Parameter[] parameters)

    - #### getReturnType

          public ClassNode getReturnType()

    - #### getVariableScope

          public VariableScope getVariableScope()

    - #### setVariableScope

          public void setVariableScope(VariableScope variableScope)

    - #### isDynamicReturnType

          public boolean isDynamicReturnType()

    - #### isAbstract

          public boolean isAbstract()

    - #### isStatic

          public boolean isStatic()

    - #### isPublic

          public boolean isPublic()

    - #### isPrivate

          public boolean isPrivate()

    - #### isFinal

          public boolean isFinal()

    - #### isProtected

          public boolean isProtected()

    - #### hasDefaultValue

          public boolean hasDefaultValue()

    - #### isScriptBody

          public boolean isScriptBody()

      Returns:
        true if this method is the run method from a script

    - #### toString

          public java.lang.String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`

    - #### setReturnType

          public void setReturnType(ClassNode returnType)

    - #### getExceptions

          public ClassNode[] getExceptions()

    - #### getFirstStatement

          public void setAnnotationDefault(boolean b)

    - #### hasAnnotationDefault

          public boolean hasAnnotationDefault()

    - #### isStaticConstructor

          public boolean isStaticConstructor()

    - #### isSyntheticPublic

          public boolean isSyntheticPublic()

      Indicates that this method has been "promoted" to public by Groovy when in fact there was no public modifier explicitly in the source code. I.e. it remembers that it has applied Groovy's "public methods by default" rule. This property is typically only of interest to AST transform writers.
      Returns:
        true if this class is public but had no explicit public modifier

    - #### setSyntheticPublic

          public void setSyntheticPublic(boolean syntheticPublic)

    - #### getText

          public java.lang.String getText()

      Provides a nicely formatted string of the method definition. For simplicity, generic types on some of the elements are not displayed.
      Overrides:
        `getText` in class `ASTNode`
      Returns:
        string form of node with some generic elements suppressed
