Method Detail

annotations

Set<? extends Class<? extends Annotation>> annotations()

The set of annotation types processed by this step.

process

Set<Element> process(com.google.common.collect.SetMultimap<Class<? extends Annotation>,Element> elementsByAnnotation)

The implementation of processing logic for the step. It is guaranteed that the keys in elementsByAnnotation will be a subset of the set returned by annotations().

Returns:

the elements that this step is unable to process, possibly until a later processing round. These elements will be passed back to this step at the next round of processing.
