Processes a set of annotation types on type elements originating from the prior round and returns whether or not these annotation types are claimed by this processor. If
true
is returned, the annotation types are claimed and subsequent processors will not be asked to process them; if
false
is returned, the annotation types are unclaimed and subsequent processors may be asked to process them. A processor may always return the same boolean value or may vary the result based on chosen criteria.
The input set will be empty if the processor supports "*"
and the root elements have no annotations. A Processor
must gracefully handle an empty set of annotations.
