Interface BasicAnnotationProcessor.ProcessingStep

Enclosing class:

BasicAnnotationProcessor

public static interface BasicAnnotationProcessor.ProcessingStep

The unit of processing logic that runs under the guarantee that all elements are complete and well-formed. A step may reject elements that are not ready for processing but may be at a later round.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Set<? extends Class<? extends Annotation>>	annotations() The set of annotation types processed by this step.
Set<? extends Element>	process(com.google.common.collect.SetMultimap<Class<? extends Annotation>,Element> elementsByAnnotation) The implementation of processing logic for the step.

Method Detail

annotations

Set<? extends Class<? extends Annotation>> annotations()

The set of annotation types processed by this step.

process

Set<? extends Element> process(com.google.common.collect.SetMultimap<Class<? extends Annotation>,Element> elementsByAnnotation)

The implementation of processing logic for the step. It is guaranteed that the keys in elementsByAnnotation will be a subset of the set returned by annotations().

Returns:

the elements (a subset of the values of elementsByAnnotation) that this step is unable to process, possibly until a later processing round. These elements will be passed back to this step at the next round of processing.
