Method Detail

getMetaAnnotation

AnnotationMirror getMetaAnnotation()

The meta annoation of this rule or null, if the rule has no meta annoatation (f.e. purely template based rule)

getMetaElement

Element getMetaElement()

The meta element of the rule. This is the template element of the rule and / or the element, where the meta annotation resides. Null means, that the the rule inherits the meta element of the parent rule. This is the case if the meta annotation resides as an annotation value within another meta annotation or if the meta annotation is one amongst others on the meta element and a parent rule calls different child rules to process each of them.
