/** 
 * Template class for building up a method. This is done by defining exception
 * handlers, adding thrown exceptions, local variables and attributes, whereas
 * the `LocalVariableTable' and `LineNumberTable' attributes will be set
 * automatically for the code. Use stripAttributes() if you don't like this.
 *
 * While generating code it may be necessary to insert NOP operations. You can
 * use the `removeNOPs' method to get rid off them.
 * The resulting method object can be obtained via the `getMethod()' method.
