No, sir, as many have told you, that it does not.

That shows that the variable 'setMethod' is a reference to a class instance. It 
does not show that any method is an instance. You don't turn the variable 
'setMethod' into a method just by putting 'Method' in its name.

'setMethod' is not a method.

Please read and study the referenced documentation for the definition of a 
method.

The definition of a method:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/classes.html#8.4

The definition of an object:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/typesValues.html#4.3
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/typesValues.html#4.3.1

They are quite different.
