All Implemented Interfaces:
Processor

public abstract class AbstractProcessor extends Object implements Processor
An abstract annotation processor designed to be a convenient superclass for most concrete annotation processors. This class examines annotation values to compute the options, annotation interfaces, and source version supported by its subtypes.

The getter methods may issue warnings about noteworthy conditions using the facilities available after the processor has been initialized.

Subclasses are free to override the implementation and specification of any of the methods in this class as long as the general Processor contract for that method is obeyed.
