how to tell 2 methods are override-equivalent

[Vicente Romero]

Hi Hamlin,

How do you obtain m2? I mean at some point it should have been obtained 
from an executable element or similar. In the worst case you can always 
generate a simple test case and try to compile it for example:

class Test {
     void getContent(java.lang.Class<?>[] c) {}
     void getContent(java.lang.Class[] c) {}
}

this one will fail saying that both methods have the same erasure,

HTH,
Vicente
