getVisibleAnnotation

public static Object getVisibleAnnotation(Constructor con,
                                          Class annotation)

If constructor has visible annotation return it. If this is JDK 1.5 this is a wrapper for Constructor.getAnnotation()

Parameters:

con -

annotation -

Returns:

getVisibleAnnotation

public static Object getVisibleAnnotation(Field field,
                                          Class annotation)
