[JSR308] Modifying the annotations in the source

[Niko Matsakis]

Hello,

Is it possible for a Checker to affect the annotations which will be  
written into the .class file?  In my checker I would like to add  
certain annotations to some elements such as fields or methods to  
represent inferred information and other values.  These annotations  
would then be loaded when the .class file for a certain class is  
referenced by another class in a later compilation.  Right now, I am  
always resynthesizing this information, but in some cases that is  
challenging to do without access to the full AST tree.  (Not to  
mention that it's somewhat inefficient)


thanks,
Niko
