Java Annotations - Is there any helper library to read/process annotations?
- by mjlee
I start to use Java annotations heavily. One example is taking method with annotations and converting them into 'telnet'-based command-line command. I do this by parsing annotations and hook into jopt option parser.
However, I do a lot of these manually. For example, Method parameter annotation processing..
Method method = ... //;
Class[] parameters = method.getParamterTypes();
Annotation[][] annotations = method.getparamterAnnotations();
for( int i = 0; i < parameters.length; i++ )
{
// iterate through the annotation , see if each param has specific annotation ,etc.
}
It is very redundant and tedious.
Is there any opensource project that help processing Annotations?
