@yasserzamani Thanks!
No need to apologize. It is just that we try to be conservative with new
additions (If we add a public method we have to support it for a long time and
can not do any incompatible changes.). If the method is deemed generally useful
it can always be moved and made public later on.
> Add MethodUtils#findAnnotation and extend
> MethodUtils#getMethodsWithAnnotation for non-public, super-class and
> interface methods

> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.reflect.*
> Reporter: Yasser Zamani
> Labels: patch
>
> In order to fix WW-4744 , mainly, I am going to add two functionalities to
> MethodUtils: findAnnotation and findMethodsWithAnnotation.
> findAnnotation will be an extension for Method.getAnnotation that also
> searches interfaces and super classes while caching results with no memory
> leak.
> findMethodsWithAnnotation will be an extension for getMethodsWithAnnotation
> that also supports non public methods, super class and interface methods,
> again, while caching results as above.
> Generally, do you agree with these in a pull request? If so, I will be
> working on it :)
