      • getDeclaredAnnotations

        IAnnotationInfo[] getDeclaredAnnotations()
        Returns all annotations that are directly present on this element. Unlike the other methods in this interface, this method ignores inherited annotations. (Returns an array of length zero if no annotations are directly present on this element.) The caller of this method is free to modify the returned array; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers.
        Returns:
        All annotations directly present on this element
