## [Java] Class AnnotationVisitor

- org.codehaus.groovy.classgen.AnnotationVisitor

-     public class AnnotationVisitor
      extends Object

  An Annotation visitor responsible for:

  - reading annotation metadata (@Retention, @Target, attribute types)
  - verify that an `AnnotationNode` conforms to annotation meta
  - enhancing an `AnnotationNode` AST to reflect real annotation meta
