- ## Method Details

  - ### getTypeDescriptor

    public 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, we use the format of a Java declaration without parameter names or generics.

  - ### getTypeDescriptor

    @Deprecated public String getTypeDescriptor(boolean pretty)
    Deprecated.

      `true` if annotation method has a default value

  - ### setAnnotationDefault

    public void setAnnotationDefault(boolean hasDefaultValue)

  - ### isScriptBody

    public boolean isScriptBody()
    Returns:
      `true` if this method is the run method from a script

  - ### isConstructor

    public boolean isConstructor()
    Since:
      4.0.0

  - ### 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 String getText()
