ah ok - so its only in context of Jar you have issues.
Then yes, something like classfilereader or javassist should
be used to get these informations.

APT = Annotation Processor Tool is a tool and api in java to
be able to process annotations in classes. Eclipse contains a
implementation that allows you to use the same api but I think
it only covers source code - not binary entries.
