Description
Project Lambda is adding default methods to the Java platform.  The types modeling methods in javax.lang.model should be able to return this information.
Comments
There are two basic approaches to providing this functionality: * Add an isDefault() method to the TypeElement interface * Add an isDefault(TypeElement) method to the Elements utility interface The former is more convenient for the end-user but is slightly more source incompatibility for the implementer. Given the trade-offs in this case, I think user convenience should prevail.
