[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60123] method methods and ismethod silently changed: includes constructors now

[Ernst Reissner]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #60123 (project octave):

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/methods.html
shows how it is meant: 
methods('java.lang.String') 
returns just names of constructor(s) and methods. 
If two (constructors or) functions have the same names (but differ e.g. in
arguments), only one name is given. 

In contrast, methods('java.lang.String','full') shows method signatures. 
It is ugly, but for that variant, 
the result is given somewhere else: 
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/java-method-information.html

Methods for class java.awt.Dimension:
Dimension() 
Dimension(java.awt.Dimension) 
Dimension(int,int) 
java.lang.Class getClass()  % Inherited from java.lang.Object 
int hashCode()  % Inherited from java.lang.Object 
boolean equals(java.lang.Object) 
java.lang.String toString() 
void notify()  % Inherited from java.lang.Object 
void notifyAll()  % Inherited from java.lang.Object 
void wait(long) throws java.lang.InterruptedException 
   % Inherited from java.lang.Object
void wait(long,int) throws java.lang.InterruptedException 
   % Inherited from java.lang.Object 
void wait() throws java.lang.InterruptedException 
   % Inherited from java.lang.Object 
java.awt.Dimension getSize() 
void setSize(java.awt.Dimension) 
void setSize(int,int)


You can see, that now the following is added: 
- parameter list
- throws clause for checked exceptions, 
- return type, 
- inheritance information 
- I think, also modifiers like static, final, .... (no access)
Again, the constructors are treated as methods.
