      Class<? extends Annotation> forAnnotationClass()
      Returns for which Annotation this processor is meant.
      Returns:
      the Class for which this processor is meant
    • processAnnotation

      <I extends BaseNature, A extends Annotation> boolean processAnnotation(I info, A annotation)
      The processing action of this processor. If an annotation is given which is not supported false is returned.
      Parameters:
      info - the Info class that should be filled with the information read
