- Method Detail
  - isBridge
```
boolean isBridge()
```
  - isStatic
```
default boolean isStatic()
```
    Specified by:
    
    isStatic in interface JAccessibleElementSymbol
  - getDefaultAnnotationValue
```
default @Nullable SymbolicValue getDefaultAnnotationValue()
```
    Returns the default value, if this is a constant method. See SymbolicValue for current limitations
  - isAnnotationAttribute
```
default boolean isAnnotationAttribute()
```
    Return whether this method defines an attribute of the enclosing annotation type.
  - acceptVisitor
```
default <R,P> R acceptVisitor(SymbolVisitor<R,P> visitor,
                                    P param)
```
    Description copied from interface: JElementSymbol
    
    Dispatch to the appropriate visit method of the visitor and returns its result.
    
    Specified by:
    
    acceptVisitor in interface JElementSymbol
  - tryGetNode
```
default @Nullable N tryGetNode()
```
    Description copied from interface: JElementSymbol
    
    Returns the node that declares this symbol. Eg for JMethodSymbol, it's an ASTMethodDeclaration. Will only return non-null if the symbol is declared in the file currently being analysed.
    
    Specified by:
    
    tryGetNode in interface JElementSymbol
