Interface BasicAnnotationProcessor.Step

Enclosing class:

BasicAnnotationProcessor

public static interface BasicAnnotationProcessor.Step

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
java.util.Set<java.lang.String>	annotations() The set of fully-qualified annotation type names processed by this step.
java.util.Set<? extends javax.lang.model.element.Element>	process(com.google.common.collect.ImmutableSetMultimap<java.lang.String,javax.lang.model.element.Element> elementsByAnnotation) The implementation of processing logic for the step.

Method Detail

annotations

java.util.Set<java.lang.String> annotations()

The set of fully-qualified annotation type names processed by this step.

Warning: If the returned names are not names of annotations, they'll be ignored.

process

java.util.Set<? extends javax.lang.model.element.Element> process(com.google.common.collect.ImmutableSetMultimap<java.lang.String,javax.lang.model.element.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.
