This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences.

javax.lang.model.element
interface AnnotationMirror


public interface AnnotationMirror

Represents an annotation. An annotation associates a value with each element of an annotation type.

Annotations should be compared using the {@code equals} method. There is no guarantee that any particular annotation will always be represented by the same object.


Method Summary
 DeclaredType

          Returns the type of this annotation.
 Map

          Returns the values of this annotation's elements.
 

Method Detail

getAnnotationType

public DeclaredType getAnnotationType()
Returns the type of this annotation.

Returns:
the type of this annotation

getElementValues

public Map getElementValues()
Returns the values of this annotation's elements. This is returned in the form of a map that associates elements with their corresponding values. Only those elements with values explicitly present in the annotation are included, not those that are implicitly assuming their default values. The order of the map matches the order in which the values appear in the annotation's source.

Note that an annotation mirror of a marker annotation type will by definition have an empty map.

To fill in default values, use {@link javax.lang.model.util.Elements#getElementValuesWithDefaults getElementValuesWithDefaults}.

Returns:
the values of this annotation's elements, or an empty map if there are none
