AnnoSave

AnnoSave is a Java framework which persists annotations in a .json-file so that you can process them without having access to the original class-file at runtime.

The dependency is available in maven-central:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.wglanzer.annosave</groupId>
    <artifactId>annosave-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.4</version>
</dependency>

Annotation Processor

AnnoSave provides a simple processor which iterates all annotations annotated with "@AnnoPersist" at compile time. If an annotation contains a "serialize"-Method which returns "false" -> It will be ignored. The processor generates an "annosave.zip"-File in the target directory containing all those annotations.

Maven dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.wglanzer.annosave</groupId>
    <artifactId>annosave-processor</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.4</version>
</dependency>
