Prior to this commit, the USER_DECLARED_METHODS MethodFilter in
ReflectionUtils did not actually filter methods declared in
java.lang.Object as stated in its Javadoc.
Consequently, if ReflectionUtils.doWithMethods was invoked with
USER_DECLARED_METHODS and Object.class as the class to introspect, all
non-bridge non-synthetic methods declared in java.lang.Object were
passed to the supplied MethodCallback, which breaks the contract of
USER_DECLARED_METHODS.
In addition, if USER_DECLARED_METHODS was composed with a custom
MethodFilter using `USER_DECLARED_METHODS.and(<custom MethodFilter>)`,
that composed method filter allowed all non-bridge non-synthetic
methods declared in java.lang.Object to be passed to the supplied
MethodCallback, which also breaks the contract of
USER_DECLARED_METHODS. This behavior resulted in regressions in code
that had previously used USER_DECLARED_METHODS by itself and then began
using USER_DECLARED_METHODS in a composed filter. For example, since
commit c419ea7ba7 ReflectiveAspectJAdvisorFactory has incorrectly
processed methods in java.lang.Object as candidates for advice methods.
This commit fixes this bug and associated regressions by ensuring that
USER_DECLARED_METHODS actually filters methods declared in
java.lang.Object. In addition, ReflectionUtils.doWithMethods now aborts
its search algorithm early if invoked with the USER_DECLARED_METHODS
filter and Object.class as the class to introspect.
