	 * 	<jk>public</jk> Object method3()  {...}
	 * </p>
	 *
	 * <p>
	 * It's common to combine the client version with transforms that will convert new POJOs into older POJOs for
	 * backwards compatibility.
	 * <p class='bcode w800'>
	 * 	<jc>// Call this method if X-Client-Version is at least 2.0.</jc>
