| /** |
| * Provides the classes necessary to process J2SE 1.5 annotations in the context |
| * of the J2EE application server. |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * Annotations are defined by their annotation type. This tool assumes that |
| * annotation handlers will be registered to it to process a particular annotation |
| * type. These annotation handlers have no particular knowledge outside of the |
| * annotation they process and the annoted element on which the annotation was |
| * defined. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * The AnnotationProcessor tool implementation is responsible for maintening a |
| * list of annotations handlers per annotation type. AnnotationHandler are added |
| * to the tool through the pushAnnotationHandler and can be removed through the |
| * popAnnotationHandler. Alternatively, the Factory singleton can be used to get |
| * an initialized AnnotationProcessor with all the default AnnotationHandler. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * The tool uses the ProcessingContext to have access to Class instances. Each |
| * class instance will be processed in order, and if annotations are present, the |
| * tool will also process Field, Constructor and Methods elements. Each time the |
| * annotation processor switches for one particular AnnotatedElement to another, |
| * it will send start and stop events to any AnnotatedElementHandler interface |
| * implementation registered within the ProcessingContext. This allow client |
| * code to keep context information about the AnnotatedElements being |
| * processed since AnnotationHandler only know about the AnnotatedElement the |
| * annotation was defined on. |
| * </p> |
