I have an IElementChangedListener which I am trying to use to see when an Annotation on a Java method is modified, by checking the IJavaElementDelta.F_MODIFIERS flag.  

If I add/remove a @Deprecated annotation on a method, the IJavaElementDelta will correctly have a MODIFIERS CHANGED event.  However if I add/modify a custom annotation or even:  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")

In this case the IJavaElementDelta will have: 
[Working copy] F1.java[*]: {PRIMARY RESOURCE}]

It does not have the IJavaElementDelta.F_MODIFIERS flag set for the Method.  So I can not use IElementChangedListener to listen to changes in my own custom annotations (which is my end goal).  I realize this probably isn't the best way to do what I'm looking for, but there doesn't seem to be a better way (yet), and  changing any type of annotation really is modifying a method's modifiers, so this should be able to be relied upon.
