addChangeListener
in interfaceAnnotation
- Parameters:
listener
- the object to register.- See Also:
removeChangeListener(AnnotationChangeListener)
-
removeChangeListener
Deregisters an object so that it no longer receives notification of changes to the annotation.- Specified by:
removeChangeListener
in interfaceAnnotation
- Parameters:
listener
- the object to deregister.- See Also:
addChangeListener(AnnotationChangeListener)
-
hasListener
Returnstrue
if the specified object is registered with the annotation as a listener. Most applications won't need to call this method, it exists mainly for use by unit testing code.- Parameters:
listener
- the listener.- Returns:
- A boolean.

references that have been registered with this annotation.- Overrides:
clone
in classObject
- Returns:
