Re: How to use java annotation in Jython subclass

I guess you'll have to be a bit more specific, as to what you want to achieve. Do you want to
* annotate a method on a jython subclass (parent class is java)?
* access the annotation of a method (or class) declared in the java superclass (or somewhere else).

The first case is probably not solved yet (at least according to the bugtracker [1], that means that there's no possibility to declare annotations in your Jython code

The second case can be achieved with generics, just as you would in Java (your annotations have to be declared with RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME). Check [2] for a good summary.

Summary: Declaration inside Jython is probably not going to work, Access at runtime can be achieved in the same way as in Java, through Reflection (it's a Java class, not even a Jython class).

Cheers,
Daniel
