## org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom
Class AnnotationTypeDeclaration

    java.lang.Object
      org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ASTNode
          org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.BodyDeclaration
              org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.AbstractTypeDeclaration
                  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.

Note: This API element is only needed for dealing with Java code that uses new language features of J2SE 1.5. It is included in anticipation of J2SE 1.5 support, which is planned for the next release of Eclipse after 3.0, and may change slightly before reaching its final form.

Since:
  3.0

Field Detail

### JAVADOC_PROPERTY

    public static final ChildPropertyDescriptor JAVADOC_PROPERTY

  The "javadoc" structural property of this node type.

### MODIFIERS2_PROPERTY

    public static final ChildListPropertyDescriptor MODIFIERS2_PROPERTY

  The "modifiers" structural property of this node type.

### NAME_PROPERTY

    public static final ChildPropertyDescriptor NAME_PROPERTY

  The "name" structural property of this node type.

### BODY_DECLARATIONS_PROPERTY

    public static final ChildListPropertyDescriptor BODY_DECLARATIONS_PROPERTY

  The "bodyDeclarations" structural property of this node type.

Method Detail

### propertyDescriptors

    public static List propertyDescriptors(int apiLevel)

  Returns a list of structural property descriptors for this node type. Clients must not modify the result.

  Parameters:
    `apiLevel` - the API level; one of the `AST.JLS*` constants
  Returns:
    a list of property descriptors (element type: `StructuralPropertyDescriptor`)

### resolveBinding

    public ITypeBinding resolveBinding()

  Resolves and returns the binding for the annotation type declared in this annotation type declaration.

  Note that bindings are generally unavailable unless requested when the AST is being built.

  Returns:
    the binding, or `null` if the binding cannot be resolved
