Java annotationіs analysis [message #1691464]

Java annotations started to play a vital role in Java development. It replaced marker interfaces sometimes, like @Entity annotation.
Nobody seems to write any java.util.EventListener anymore but annotation alternatives start to appear, like org.infinispan.notifications.cachemanagerlistener.annotation.ViewChanged.
Is it possible/reasonable to empower 'class hierarchy', 'call hierarchy' and 'outline' views with ability to analyze/reflect Java annotations?
When I'm doing 'text search' of Java annotations when I can do the same with my favorite file manager + text editor I'm feeling a bit deceived :)

Not sure if still relevant, but ...

... you'd get better results already by searching for references to the annotation type (Ctrl-Shift-G or Search > Java > (o) Type (o) References).
The Java search will give even more precise results when selecting "Annotations" in the "Match locations" detail dialog.

Is anything missing in this approach?
