Since, MethodUtils is not going to be in the same package as whatever
class you are calling a method on, I don't think you going to be allowed
to call a package, protected or private methods in that class?

JIRA reports are good - we've a big backlog in BeanUtils but it's
starting to go down.
There are a couple of other similar issues (BEANUTILS-157 +
BEANUTILS-87).
I don't know why the API is designed to only work with public methods;
whether that's an aspect of adherence to the spec, by design or
legacy. Seems that if we're going to use setAccessible, that we could
just open it to package and private too.
Anyone know why MethodUtils intentionally limits itself?
