Yeah, I wish I knew how to do it. I tried some asm woodoo, but after a
couple of hours scratching my head I ended up with the
not-so-brilliant-but-working solution. I didn't know how to traverse
the inheritance hierarchy with asm. Wait, should I do/while as it is
now, but instead of clazz.isAnnotationPresent run some asm parsing
woodoo? I'd like to work on it, but need some advice.
Sure, no problem. We already do all the asm voodoo in the ClassFinder
constructor and the ClassInfo object you were calling the get() method
on is part of the resulting metadata we collected from ASM. The code
you have could be adapted to call methods of ClassInfo instead of
Class. I'd call ClassFinder.isAnnotationPresent() real quick before
doing a search just to see if it's worth the time. It will be limited
unfortunately to situations where the parent class containing the
annotation is in scope of the ClassFinder (i.e. if they put it in a
different jar and classfinder wasn't told to look there, then it won't
come up as having that annotation as we won't have asm data for it).
