/**
 * 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.
