Annotation Type GroovyASTTransformation
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface GroovyASTTransformation
This is an annotaton on a class, currently just ASTTransformation.
This provides information about how and when to apply the transformation,
such as what phase it should be applied in.
The allowed phase is a function of how the transformation is introduced
into the compile process. If the transform is automatically added via a
marker annotation only the SEMANTIC_ANALYSIS and latter phases are legal
for the phase(). This is because the annotations are not inspected until
after the classes are all resolved.
Also, only annotation types present during the SEMANTIC_ANALYSIS phase
will be handled. Transformations adding other annotations that are
transformable will have those new annotations only considered in
latter phases, and only if the type was present in the source unit
during SEMANTIC_ANALYSIS.
