    AccessControlException ReflectionUtils.findMethod

      Updating the MC to use the latest jboss-reflection shows the
      change to ReflectionUtils.findMethod() to use getDeclaredMethod()
      is breaking code that doesn't have permission to getDeclaredMethods

      Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.167 sec <<< FAILURE!
      testContainerInjection(org.jboss.test.kernel.deployment.test.BeanContainerInjectionTestCase) Time elapsed: 0.03 sec <<< ERROR!

      We obviously don't want to leak this permission by putting privileged blocks
      in ReflectionUtils so we need to introduce privileged blocks in
      AnnotatedElementMetaDataLoader.

      Where else uses ReflectionUtils.findXXX() ?
