Returns a string describing a method declaration. It contains the access flags (public,
private, static, etc), the return type, the method name, and the types of each of its
parameters.

<p>For example, if the orignal Java source declarationwas: private final String
constantToString (int index) Then the output of methodDeclarationToString would be: private
final java.lang.String constantToString (int)

@param m the method
@return a string describing the method declaration
Returns a string describing a method declaration . It contains the access flags ( public private static etc ) the return type the method name and the types of each of its parameters .
