Java annotations, take 2!

Sorry again for that oversight on my end. I was so focused on going through the annotation properties (class properties) that I totally forgot about the rest! :blush:

But better late than never, I now have a template which checks the class annotations and then those for the operations and attributes. And even though I’m still a bit unsure about the layout I think it turned out decent enough:

Some important details:

The headers will always show, even if no annotations were found:

I did this for consistency. The class annotations are merely a property and you could easily check that beforehand. But the attributes and operations need to be checked individually and you can’t apply programming logic while using a loop. That is: you can check the individual aspects, but not the entire collection.

So to keep the template persistent all headers are printed no matter what.

This was quite an educational experience I must say…

So here is the full template:

Hope this can be more useful than the previous versions :slight_smile:
