    public class JAnnotationType

extends JRealClassType

Type representing an annotation type.

Constructor Summary
`JAnnotationType(TypeOracle oracle, JPackage declaringPackage, JClassType enclosingType, boolean isLocalType, java.lang.String name, boolean isInterface)`

Method Summary
`JAnnotationMethod` | `getMethod(java.lang.String name, JType[] paramTypes)`
`JAnnotationMethod[]` | `getMethods()`
`JAnnotationMethod[]` | `getOverridableMethods()` Iterates over the most-derived declaration of each unique overridable method available in the type hierarchy of the specified type, including those found in superclasses and superinterfaces.
`JAnnotationType` | `isAnnotation()` Returns this instance if it is a annotation or `null` if it is not.

Constructor Detail

### JAnnotationType

    public JAnnotationType(TypeOracle oracle,
                           JPackage declaringPackage,
                           JClassType enclosingType,
                           boolean isLocalType,
                           java.lang.String name,
                           boolean isInterface)

Method Detail

### getMethod

    public JAnnotationMethod getMethod(java.lang.String name,
                                       JType[] paramTypes)
                                throws NotFoundException

  Overrides:
    `getMethod` in class `JRealClassType`
  Throws:
    `NotFoundException`

### getMethods

    public JAnnotationMethod[] getMethods()

  Overrides:
    `getMethods` in class `JRealClassType`

### getOverridableMethods

    public JAnnotationMethod[] getOverridableMethods()

  Description copied from class: `JClassType`
  Iterates over the most-derived declaration of each unique overridable method available in the type hierarchy of the specified type, including those found in superclasses and superinterfaces. A method is overridable if it is not `final` and its accessibility is `public`, `protected`, or package protected. Deferred binding generators often need to generate method implementations; this method offers a convenient way to find candidate methods to implement. Note that the behavior does not match `Class.getMethod(String, Class[])`, which does not return the most derived method in some cases.

  Overrides:
    `getOverridableMethods` in class `JRealClassType`
  Returns:
    an array of `JMethod` objects representing overridable methods

### isAnnotation

    public JAnnotationType isAnnotation()

  Description copied from class: `JType`
  Returns this instance if it is a annotation or `null` if it is not.

  Overrides:
    `isAnnotation` in class `JType`
  Returns:
    this instance if it is a annotation or `null` if it is not
