try this,

 import java.lang.reflect.*;
    public class DumpMethods {
        public static void main(String args[]) {
            try {
                Class c = Class.forName(args[0]);
                Method m[] = c.getDeclaredMethods();
                for (int i = 0; i < m.length; i++)
                    System.out.println(m[i].toString());
            } catch (Throwable e) {
                System.err.println(e);
            }
        }
    }
