Re: [jbosstools-dev] Seam Scanner for class files
JDT does not include annotations into java model.
true, but that is why you use something like APT does and reads the
annotations. e.g. use the compilation participant and parse the source
and you can visit the nodes. I did that in my initial prototype,
unfortunatly i don't have the code on my laptop. I'll post it when I
find it or get back to my desktop.
I don't think loading the classes is a sustainable usage since
classfiles will not be available when incomplete files and is it not
inefficient and impossible to clean up.
For .jar's it's usable to look into ClassFileREader thouhgh.
/max
By now, java.lang.Class is used to load annotations.
To obtain Class objects, class loader is created for
user project. That way seems to be quite fast and reliable.
I have found that jdt uses
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.classfmt.ClassFileReader
to load java model, and probably it provides all required information
about annotations, but that needs some more studies.
I think that for the time being we may use java.lang.Class-based
implementation to attend other urgent issues, and replace it
with ClassFileReader-based implementation later if time allows.
