FYI, for the related task of printing out annotations from class files 
in a source-like format, JDK 6 javac can be used:

 >javac -Xprint javax.annotation.processing.SupportedAnnotationTypes
package javax.annotation.processing;

@java.lang.annotation.Documented
@java.lang.annotation.Target({java.lang.annotation.ElementType.TYPE})
@java.lang.annotation.Retention(java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface SupportedAnnotationTypes {

   java.lang.String[] value();
}
