Title
Body
I'm trying to create an annotation for a local variable. I know that I can't retain the annotation in the generated bytecode, but I should be able to have access to the information at compile time by doing something like this: @Target({ElementType.LOCAL_VARIABLE}) @Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE) public @interface Junk { String value(); } only, this doesn't get processed by apt, or javac when I specify a ProcessorFactory that has "Junk" in it's supported types in the following: class JunkTester { public static void main(String[] args) { @Junk String tmp = "Hello World"; System.out.println(tmp); } } It will however work when I move the @Junk annotation before public static Thoughts and or workarounds?
