Module io.annot8.api

Package io.annot8.api.components

This package contains the api interface for components.

There are three main types of components in Annot8:

1) Source - these produce new items for processing 2) Processor - these process items, for example by adding annotations 3) Resource - these are reusable classes that can be used by other components

Descriptors are used to describe and create components, and provide information about the capabilities of a component (Which may be configuration dependent)
