Class AnnotationTypeDeclaration

  extended by org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ASTNode
      extended by org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.BodyDeclaration

              extended by org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AnnotationTypeDeclaration

public class AnnotationTypeDeclaration
extends AbstractTypeDeclaration

Annotation type declaration AST node type (added in JLS3 API).

 AnnotationTypeDeclaration:
   [ Javadoc ] { ExtendedModifier } @ interface Identifier
                { { AnnotationTypeBodyDeclaration | ; } }
 AnnotationTypeBodyDeclaration:
   AnnotationTypeMemberDeclaration
   FieldDeclaration
   TypeDeclaration
   EnumDeclaration
   AnnotationTypeDeclaration
 

The thing to note is that method declaration are replaced by annotation type member declarations in this context.

When a Javadoc comment is present, the source range begins with the first character of the "/**" comment delimiter. When there is no Javadoc comment, the source range begins with the first character of the first modifier keyword (if modifiers), or the first character of the "@interface" (if no modifiers). The source range extends through the last character of the "}" token following the body declarations.

Since:
3.1
Restriction:
This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.
