I am writing my first plugin and I would like to invoke an IMethod as it
can be done with an Method of the java.lang.reflect API. Is there any
possibilty to do that?

What would you expect from calling an IMethod?

An IMethod is a handle to a (source or binary) java element in a project
of your workspace. You cannot simply "call" it from your plugin, since
there's no VM in which such a call would make sense.

Calling it in the VM in which eclipse itself runs would not work, since
the IMethod is just a reference to an element in one of your projects
and not a reference to a running eclipse plugin.
