Method Detail

getInstance

public static AnnotationUtils getInstance(ProcessingEnvironment env)

fromName

public AnnotationMirror fromName(CharSequence name)

Creates an AnnotationMirror given by a particular fully-qualified name.

Parameters:

name - the name of the annotation to create

Returns:

an AnnotationMirror of type name

fromName

public AnnotationMirror fromName(String name)

Creates an AnnotationMirror given by a particular fully-qualified name.

Parameters:

name - the name of the annotation to create

Returns:

an AnnotationMirror of type name

fromClass

public AnnotationMirror fromClass(Class<? extends Annotation> clazz)

Creates an AnnotationMirror given by a particular annotation class.

Parameters:

clazz - the annotation class

Returns:

an AnnotationMirror of type given type

findDefaultLocations

public Map<TypeElement,Set<DefaultLocation>> findDefaultLocations(TreePath path)

Finds default annotations starting at the leaf of the given tree path by inspecting enclosing variable, method, and class declarations for DefaultQualifier annotations.

Parameters:

path - the tree path from which to start searching

Returns:

a mapping from annotations (as TypeElements) to the DefaultLocations for those annotations

See Also:

findDefaultLocations(Element)

findDefaultLocations

public Map<TypeElement,Set<DefaultLocation>> findDefaultLocations(Element elt)

Finds default annotations starting at the given element, inspecting the element and its enclosing method and class declarations for DefaultQualifier annotations.

Parameters:

elt - the element from which to start searching

Returns:

a mapping from annotations (as TypeElements) to the DefaultLocations for those annotations

See Also:

findDefaultLocations(TreePath)

getElementValuesWithDefaults

public static Map<? extends ExecutableElement,? extends AnnotationValue> getElementValuesWithDefaults(AnnotationMirror ad)

Returns the values of an annotation's elements, including defaults.

Parameters:

ad - annotation to examine

Returns:

the values of the annotation's elements, including defaults

See Also:

AnnotationMirror.getElementValues()

parseEnumConstantArrayValue

public static <R extends Enum<R>> Set<R> parseEnumConstantArrayValue(AnnotationMirror ad,
                                                                     String field,
                                                                     Class<R> enumType)

Type Parameters:

R - the enum type

Parameters:

ad - the annotation for which a value will be parsed

field - the name of the field to parse

enumType - the type of the enum

Returns:

the enum constant values of the given field

parseStringValue

public static String parseStringValue(AnnotationMirror ad,
                                      String field)

Parameters:

ad - the annotation for which a value will be parsed

field - the name of the field to parse

Returns:

the String value of the given field

parseStringArrayValue

public static List<String> parseStringArrayValue(AnnotationMirror ad,
                                                 String field)

Parameters:

ad - the annotation for which a value will be parsed

field - the name of the field to parse

Returns:

the String values of the given field

annotationName

public static final Name annotationName(AnnotationMirror annotation)

Returns:

the fully-qualified name of an annotation as a String

areSame

public static boolean areSame(AnnotationMirror a1,
                              AnnotationMirror a2)

Checks if both annotations are the same. Returns true iff both annotations are of the same type and have the same annotation values. This behavior defers from AnnotationMirror.equals(Object). The equals method returns true iff both annotations are the same and annotate the same annotation target (e.g. field, variable, etc).

Returns:

true iff a1 and a2 are the same annotation

areSameIgnoringValues

public static boolean areSameIgnoringValues(AnnotationMirror a1,
                                            AnnotationMirror a2)

Returns:

true iff a1 and a2 have the same annotation type

See Also:

areSame(AnnotationMirror, AnnotationMirror)

areSame

public static boolean areSame(Collection<AnnotationMirror> c1,
                              Collection<AnnotationMirror> c2)

Checks that two collections contain the same annotations.

Returns:

true iff c1 and c2 contain the same annotations

annotationOrdering

public static Comparator<AnnotationMirror> annotationOrdering()

provide ordering for AnnotationMirror based on their fully qualified name. The ordering ignores annotation values when ordering. The ordering is meant to be used as TreeSet or TreeMap ordering. A Set should not contain two annotations that only differ in values.

createAnnotationMap

public static <V> Map<AnnotationMirror,V> createAnnotationMap()

Create a map suitable for storing AnnotationMirror as keys. It can store one instance of AnnotationMirror of a given declared type, regardless of the annotation element values.

Type Parameters:

V - the value of the map

Returns:

a new map with AnnotationMirror as key

createAnnotationSet

public static Set<AnnotationMirror> createAnnotationSet()

Constructs a Set suitable for storing AnnotationMirrors. It stores at most once instance of AnnotationMirror of a given type, regardless of the annotation element values.

Returns:

a new set to store AnnotationMirror as element
