Alex Herbert commented on LANG-1649:
------------------------------------
Typical paths for inclusion of a method in Commons are (1) you have written it
yourself, used it in many applications and think it would be applicable for
others too; or (2) you are porting a method available in other languages that
you have used in many applications.
If you are doing something repeatedly, across many application then there
should be a place for it in one of the Commons libraries.
If you are working with reflection one typical case is to perform runtime
execution of logic that cannot be determined at compile time. For example
construction of classes specified in configuration files, execution of methods
with known signatures on classes provided at runtime, etc. I cannot think of a
reason that I would want to know a method is overridable. Without a concrete
example of how a program's logic relies on knowing this information the
suggested method is merely an example of using the reflection API, not
something that is generically applicable to code that performs dynamic
application logic.
