getAnnotationValue

public JAnnotationValue getAnnotationValue(JAnnotatedElement element)

getAnnotationValues

public JAnnotationValue[] getAnnotationValues(JAnnotatedElement element)

Copied and modified getAnnotationValue() by Eric. This is a much slower way of retrieving annotations. So if you know that there is just one annotation or if you are expecting only one annotation, use getAnnotationValue()

Returns:

an array of values, zero length array if none are present

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

public String[] getAliases()
