Description Karen Butzke CLA 2005-08-04 17:50:53 EDT 
In the AST annotations are considered modifiers, they are returned in 
BodyDeclaration.modifiers().  I think the Java IElementChangedListener should 
treat annotations and modifiers in a similar manner.  Currently the 
IJavaElementDelta returns specific information on where a particular modifier 
twas add/removed/changed (it tells you which method, field, type was changed).  
With annotations all you receive is notification that the content of the 
CompilationUnit was changed.  You do not know whether an annotation was changed 
or where one might have been added or removed.
Comment 1 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2005-08-11 08:33:59 EDT 
Annotations currently have no representation at the Java model level (see bug
79112). Once bug 79112 is resolved, then it would indeed make sense to have
added/removed/changed notifications for these elements.

Reopening since work has started on bug 79112.
Comment 5 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2007-10-24 09:56:30 EDT 
Fix for bug 79112 actually fixes this bug. To get what annotations that have been added/removed/changed use IJavaElementDelta#getAnnotationDeltas().
