• ClassInfo - Wraps Class
• MethodInfo - Wraps Method
• FieldInfo - Wraps Field
• ConstructorInfo - Wraps Constructor
• ParameterInfo - Wraps Parameter
• PackageInfo - Wraps Package

Method Details

getAnnotatableType

AnnotatableType getAnnotatableType()

Returns the type of this annotatable object.

Returns:

The type of annotatable object this represents.

getLabel

String getLabel()

Returns a human-readable label for this annotatable element.

The label format depends on the type of annotatable:

• CLASS_TYPE - Simple class name (e.g., "MyClass")
• METHOD_TYPE - Class and method with parameter types (e.g., "MyClass.myMethod(String,int)")
• FIELD_TYPE - Class and field name (e.g., "MyClass.myField")
• CONSTRUCTOR_TYPE - Class and constructor with parameter types (e.g., "MyClass.MyClass(String)")
• PARAMETER_TYPE - Class, method/constructor, and parameter index (e.g., "MyClass.myMethod[0]")
• PACKAGE_TYPE - Package name (e.g., "com.example.package")
