JDK 1.5 comes with Sun's Annotation Processing Tool, APT. Ant version 1.7 comes with an apt task. In JDK 1.6, Sun made annotation processing part of the javac process.
Annotation Processor Options
Annotation processor options are specified with the -A switch on the apt command line. None of these options require values; the presence of the option is sufficient.
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| jediSuppressSuffixes | Suppress all suffixes added to method names when creating factory methods. Suffixes that may otherwise be added are the word 'Proxy' and the unqualified name of the closure class (e.g. Command). The generated code will contain overloaded methods with the same name as the annotated method. This may not be compileable if the signatures of the overloaded forms are the same. This option supersedes jediSuppressProxySuffix and jediSuppressClosureTypeSuffix. |
| jediSuppressProxySuffix | If you want to suppress just the Proxy suffix for generated methods, use this option. This may also cause uncompileable code to be generated. |
| jediSuppressClosureTypeSuffix | Suppresses just the closure type from being appended to the name of the generated method. This can cause uncompileable code to be generated if the method is annotated with more than one @Jedi annotation. This can be fixed with the name parameter of the annotations. |
| jediSuppressAccessorVerbs | Suppresses accessor method prefixes (get and is) when creating factory methods. |
