Method from javassist.bytecode.Descriptor Detail:
 public static String appendParameter(String classname,
    String desc) 
    Appends a parameter type to the parameter list represented by the given descriptor.

    classname must not be an array type.

 public static String appendParameter(CtClass type,
    String descriptor) 
    Appends a parameter type to the parameter list represented by the given descriptor. The appended parameter becomes the last parameter.
 public static int arrayDimension(String desc) 
    Computes the dimension of the array represented by the given descriptor. For example, if the descriptor is "[[I", then this method returns 2.
 public static String changeReturnType(String classname,
    String desc) 
    Changes the return type included in the given descriptor.

    classname must not be an array type.

 public static int dataSize(String desc) 
    Computes the data size specified by the given descriptor. For example, if the descriptor is "D", this method returns 2.

    If the descriptor represents a method type, this method returns (the size of the returned value) - (the sum of the data sizes of all the parameters). For example, if the descriptor is "(I)D", then this method returns 1 (= 2 - 1).

 public static boolean eqParamTypes(String desc1,
    String desc2) 
    Returns true if the list of the parameter types of desc1 is equal to that of desc2. For example, "(II)V" and "(II)I" are equal.
 public static String getParamDescriptor(String decl) 
    Returns the signature of the given descriptor. The signature does not include the return type. For example, the signature of "(I)V" is "(I)".
 public static CtClass[] getParameterTypes(String desc,
    ClassPool cp) throws NotFoundException 
    Returns the CtClass objects representing the parameter types specified by the given descriptor.
 public static CtClass getReturnType(String desc,
    ClassPool cp) throws NotFoundException 
    Returns the CtClass object representing the return type specified by the given descriptor.
 public static String insertParameter(String classname,
    String desc) 
    Inserts a parameter type at the beginning of the parameter list represented by the given descriptor.

    classname must not be an array type.

 public static String insertParameter(CtClass type,
    String descriptor) 
    Inserts a parameter type at the beginning of the parameter list represented by the given descriptor.
 public static int numOfParameters(String desc) 
    Returns the number of the prameters included in the given descriptor.
 public static String of(String classname) 
    Converts to a descriptor from a Java class name
 public static String of(CtClass type) 
    Returns the descriptor representing the given type.
 public static String ofConstructor(CtClass[] paramTypes) 
    Returns the descriptor representing a constructor receiving the given parameter types.
 public static String ofMethod(CtClass returnType,
    CtClass[] paramTypes) 
    Returns the descriptor representing a method that receives the given parameter types and returns the given type.
 public static String ofParameters(CtClass[] paramTypes) 
    Returns the descriptor representing a list of parameter types. For example, if the given parameter types are two int, then this method returns "(II)".
 public static int paramSize(String desc) 
    Computes the data size of parameters. If one of the parameters is double type, the size of that parameter is 2 words. For example, if the given descriptor is "(IJ)D", then this method returns 3. The size of the return type is not computed.
 public static String rename(String desc,
    Map map) 
    Substitutes class names in the given descriptor string according to the given map.
 public static String rename(String desc,
    String oldname,
    String newname) 
    Substitutes a class name in the given descriptor string.
 public static String toArrayComponent(String desc,
    int dim) 
    Returns the descriptor of the type of the array component. For example, if the given descriptor is "[[Ljava/lang/String;" and the given dimension is 2, then this method returns "Ljava/lang/String;".
 public static String toClassName(String descriptor) 
    Converts to a Java class name from a descriptor.
 public static CtClass toCtClass(String desc,
    ClassPool cp) throws NotFoundException 
    Returns a CtClass object representing the type specified by the given descriptor.

    This method works even if the package-class separator is not / but . (period). For example, it accepts Ljava.lang.Object; as well as Ljava/lang/Object;.

 public static String toJavaName(String classname) 
    Converts a class name from the internal representation used in the JVM to the normal one used in Java. This method does not deal with an array type name such as "[Ljava/lang/Object;" and "[I;". For such names, use toClassName().
 public static String toJvmName(String classname) 
    Converts a class name into the internal representation used in the JVM.

    Note that toJvmName(toJvmName(s)) is equivalent to toJvmName(s).

 public static String toJvmName(CtClass clazz) 
    Returns the internal representation of the class name in the JVM.
 static CtClass toPrimitiveClass(char c) 
 public static String toString(String desc) 
    Returns a human-readable representation of the given descriptor. For example, Ljava/lang/Object; is converted into java.lang.Object. (I[I)V is converted into (int, int[]) (the return type is ignored).
