public java.lang.reflect.Method findMethod(java.lang.String name,
                                           java.lang.Object... params)

Find a Method using the methodKey provided.

Look in the methodMap for an entry. If found, it'll either be a CACHE_MISS, in which case we simply give up, or it'll be a Method, in which case, we return it.

If nothing is found, then we must actually go and introspect the method from the MethodMap.

Parameters:

name - Method name.

params - Method parameters.

Returns:

The found method.

Throws:

org.apache.maven.shared.utils.introspection.MethodMap.AmbiguousException - in case of duplicate methods.
