      • GETTER

        public static final MethodType GETTER
        A method following the getter pattern. A getter according to the JavaBeans specification is a method whose:
        • name starts with get, has a return type but no parameter
        • name starts with is, has a return type and is returning boolean.

      • NON_GETTER

        public static final MethodType NON_GETTER
        A method that does not follow the getter pattern. A getter according to the JavaBeans specification is a method whose:
        • name starts with get, has a return type but no parameter
        • name starts with is, has a return type and is returning boolean.

      • values

        public static MethodType[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows: 
        for (MethodType c : MethodType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static MethodType valueOf​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
