EAnnotation and Java annotations [message #483909]

Hi,

Could someone please explain how the Ecore EAnnotation can be used to
represent a Java annotation (usage)? For instance the annotation
@SuppressWarnings( "all"). Using EMF I see that two properties appear for
the EAnnotation class: source and references. How can these properties be
used to represent the above Java annotation in a sound manner?

I've searched the net but didn't find a proper solution to this.

Thanks for your time!

They can't.

They don't. There's no support for this at all yet.

You can add such annotations by hand to the source code itself.
