        Returns:
        the methods, or an empty set if none are defined

      • getFields

      • getAnnotations

        default <T extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> java.util.Set<T> getAnnotations​(java.lang.Class<T> annotationType)
        Description copied from interface: Annotated

        Get program element annotations of a certain annotation type.

        This method returns back all annotations, including repeatable annotations of this type. The behavior of this method is intended to be the same behavior as AnnotatedElement.getAnnotationsByType(Class), where repeatable annotations are supported.

        Specified by:
        getAnnotations in interface Annotated
        Type Parameters:
        T - the type of the annotation
        Parameters:
        annotationType - the class of the annotation type
        Returns:
        the program element annotations of the given annotation type, or an empty collection
