Getting the Java 5 annotations from an IClassFile [message #198140]

Is there a way to do this in Eclipse?

I see an API to parse the class file to get the raw annotations, but
that requires that I get the bytes.

How would I get access to the bytes with an IClassFile?

Alternatively, is there a better way to get access to the annotations
for an IType?

I got the impression that there wasn't, given an earlier message about
having to parse the AST to get the annotations from an IField or IMethod.

What do you need to do with these annotations?
You can look at the org.eclipse.jdt.core.util.IClassFileReader class. It
gives you a representation of the class file contents.

Actually, a more useful reference is to use
org.eclipse.jdt.core.ToolFactory.createDefaultClassFileReade r().

Still, IClassFileReader is a pretty low level interface.
Is there anything higher level than that to look at the annotations?
(I'd like to use them in a tool we're building to process the source
and class files they use)
