How to get annotation information from a java source-file? [message #301678]

Hi everybody,

I am writing a validator for a self-programmed editor. Therefore, I need the annotations from classes and methods. Since those classes are not in the classpath of my validator, I can't use the following:

Class<?> myType = Class.forName("mypackage.MyType");
Annotation[] myAnnotations = myType.getAnnotations();
Method[] myMethods = myType.getMethods();
Annotation[] myAnnotations2 = myMethods[0].getAnnotations();

Do you know if and how I can get this information from org.eclipse.jdt.core.IType or where else can I get it from?

Thanks for your consideration!

Judith

I'd ask this question on eclipse.tools.jdt as well, there are more
people there that are likely to know.

Later,

Have a look at the APT functionality that is now in Eclipse; it is possible
that you can implement your validator as an annotation processor, using the
com.sun.mirror.apt interfaces.
