A method binding represents a method or constructor of a class or interface.
Method bindings usually correspond directly to method or
constructor declarations found in the source code.
However, in certain cases of references to a generic method,
the method binding may correspond to a copy of a generic method
declaration with substitutions for the method's type parameters
(for these, getTypeArguments returns a non-empty
list, and either isParameterizedMethod or
isRawMethod returns true).
And in certain cases of references to a method declared in a
generic type, the method binding may correspond to a copy of a
method declaration with substitutions for the type's type
parameters (for these, getTypeArguments returns
an empty list, and both isParameterizedMethod and
isRawMethod return false).

Otherwise, if the lambda expression is declared in a static initializer or an

  (selector is an empty string in this case).

 Resolved values are represented as follows (same as for IMemberValuePairBinding.getValue()): 

Primitive type - the equivalent boxed object
java.lang.Class - the ITypeBinding for the class object
java.lang.String - the string value itself
enum type - the IVariableBinding for the enum constant
annotation type - an IAnnotationBinding

an array type (i.e., Foo[]) reflecting the the way varargs
