Re: [forge-dev] [Roaster] Don't know how to add an annotation inside another one

Hey Antonio, I don't really know how to do this off the top of my head. My guess is that you'll need to do what you've done for the prior elements and provide the definition using a String. Will this work until we can add this functionality to the API? ~Lincoln On Sun, Mar 23, 2014 at 10:37 AM, Antonio Goncalves <antonio.mailing(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > > It's not like I have the choice.
