As demonstrated by the program below, java.lang.reflect.Method.toGenericString
doesn't print bounds on type variables on generic methods. Run the program like this:

$ java Test java.util.Collections max java.util.Collection java.util.Collections
max
java.util.Collection
public static <T> T java.util.Collections.max(java.util.Collection<? extends T>)

The output should have been:

max
java.util.Collection
public static <T extends Object & Comparable<? super T>> T java.util.Collections.max(java.util.Collection<? extends T>)

import java.lang.reflect.*;
 
public class Test {
    public static void main(String... args) throws ClassNotFoundException, NoSuchMethodException {
        for (int i=0; i<args.length; i++) System.out.println(args[i]);
        String cName = args[0];
        String mName = args[1];
        Class<?> c = Class.forName(cName);
        Class<?>[] cs = new Class<?>[args.length - 2];
        for (int i=0; i<args.length-2; i++) cs[i] = Class.forName(args[i+2]);
        Method m = c.getMethod(mName, cs);
        System.out.println(m.toGenericString());
    }
}
