It's not subject to vote. It's defined by the language. You might as well ask, "Is 'int' a primitive or a reference type?". Your vote will not change reality.

And what exactly do you hope to accomplish by this exercise? Distinguish who 
knows Java from those who don't?

A method is not a class, and a class is not a method. That's reality in Java. 
The law of gravity is not subject to repeal by opinion, and neither is this.

Instead of wasting your time and trying to waste ours conducting meaningless 
polls, why don't you read the material linked upthread and learn the truth for 
yourself?

Learn the truth and it will set you free, or at least keep you from making 
errors like claiming that methods and classes are the same in Java.
