Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`Accessibility`	`getAccessibility()` Returns the `Accessibility` of this method.
`Type`	`getDeclaringMapper()` Returns the mapper type declaring this method if it is not declared by the mapper interface currently processed but by another mapper imported via `Mapper#users()`.
`String`	`getName()` Returns then name of the method.
`List<Parameter>`	`getParameters()` In contrast to `getSourceParameters()` this method returns all parameters
`Type`	`getReturnType()` Returns the return type of the method
`List<Parameter>`	`getSourceParameters()` returns the list of 'true' source parameters excluding the parameter(s) that is designated as target by means of the target annotation `getTargetParameter()`.
`Parameter`	`getTargetParameter()` Returns the parameter designated as target parameter (if present) `getSourceParameters()`
`boolean`	`matches(List<Type> sourceTypes, Type targetType)` Checks whether the provided sourceType and provided targetType match with the parameter respectively return type of the method.

  - matches
```
boolean matches(List<Type> sourceTypes,
              Type targetType)
```
    Checks whether the provided sourceType and provided targetType match with the parameter respectively return type of the method. The check also should incorporate wild card and generic type variables
    
    Parameters:
    sourceTypes - the sourceTypes to match to the parameter
    targetType - the targetType to match to the returnType
    
    Returns:
    true when match
  - getDeclaringMapper
```
Type getDeclaringMapper()
```
    Returns the mapper type declaring this method if it is not declared by the mapper interface currently processed but by another mapper imported via Mapper#users().
    
    Returns:
    The declaring mapper type
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Returns then name of the method.
    
    Returns:

    Returns:
    all parameters
  - getSourceParameters
```
List<Parameter> getSourceParameters()
```
    returns the list of 'true' source parameters excluding the parameter(s) that is designated as target by means of the target annotation getTargetParameter().
    
    Returns:
    list of 'true' source parameters
  - getTargetParameter
```
Parameter getTargetParameter()
```
    Returns the parameter designated as target parameter (if present) getSourceParameters()
    
    Returns:
    target parameter (when present) null otherwise.
  - getAccessibility
```
