- annotationClass

the Class object corresponding to the annotation type
Returns
all this element's annotations for the specified annotation type if associated with this element, else an array of length zero
- Attributes
Remarks
Returns annotations that are <em>associated</em> with this element.
If there are no annotations <em>associated</em> with this element, the return value is an array of length 0.
The difference between this method and #getAnnotation(Class) is that this method detects if its argument is a <em>repeatable annotation type</em> (JLS 9.6), and if so, attempts to find one or more annotations of that type by "looking through" a container annotation.
The caller of this method is free to modify the returned array; it will have no effect on the arrays returned to other callers.
