Example

        Thread thread = new Thread(System.out::println);
        thread.start();

So if I call resolveMethodBinding() for this reference, I get binding to println method. resolveTypeBinding() returns binding to Runnable. But how to get binding to run()? AFAIK System.out::println is equal to () -> System.out.println(), but resolveMethodBinding() for the last expression will return binding to run().

You can check the internal method which does this:

org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.text.correction.QuickAssistProcessor.getFunctionalMethodForMethodReference(MethodReference methodReference)
