public interface JavaAnnotatedElement extends JavaModel

Equivalent of AnnotatedElement, providing the most important methods. Where the original AnnotatedElement uses an Array, the JavaAnnotatedElement is using a List.

Where you can use Annotations, you can also use JavaDoc. For that reason all JavaDoc methods have been added to this interface.
