public abstract class AnnotationIntrospector extends Object implements Versioned, Serializable
NOTE: due to rapid addition of new methods (and changes to existing methods),
it is strongly recommended that custom implementations should not directly
extend this class, but rather extend NopAnnotationIntrospector
.
This way added methods will not break backwards compatibility of custom annotation
introspectors.
