[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] How to get annotation information from a java s

[judith.wiesinger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Judith Wiesinger)]

Hi everybody, 

I am writing a validator for a self-programmed editor. Therefore, I need 
the annotations from classes and methods. Since those classes are not in 
the classpath of my validator (and they might not have been build yet as 
they are under developement), I can't use the following: 

Class<?> myType = Class.forName("mypackage.MyType"); 
Annotation[] myAnnotations = myType.getAnnotations(); 
Method[] myMethods = myType.getMethods(); 
Annotation[] myAnnotations2 = myMethods[0].getAnnotations(); 

Do you know if and how I can get this information from 
org.eclipse.jdt.core.IType or where else can I get it from? 

Thanks for your consideration! 

Judith
