How can I check if a method is static using reflection?

Question

I want to discover at run-time ONLY the static Methods of a class, how can I do this? Or, how to differentiate between static and non-static methods.

Answer 1

To flesh out the previous (correct) answer, here is a full code snippet which does what you want (exceptions ignored):

public Method[] getStatics(Class c) {
    Method[] all = c.getDeclaredMethods()
    List back = new ArrayList();

    for (Method m : all) {
        if (Modifier.isStatic(m.getModifiers())) {
            back.add(m);
        }
    }

    return back.toArray(new Method[back.size()]);
}
