                                                                              java.lang.Class target,

Builds the map of equivalent methods from a source class to a target class.

Parameters:

source - class (or interface) which methods need to be mapped to target

target - class (or interface) to which source methods need to be mapped

handler - the instance that will be called back when errors occur

Returns:

a Map of source Methods to equivalent target Methods
