The annotation processing tool (APT) was released into the JDK 5, but we did not paid enough attention to it in order to exploit its potential. Today, annotation processors are part of many well known libraries that we use everyday in our professional code. On this talk we will learn how to code our custom annotation processor and to start looking at it as a very useful tool to reduce overhead in our production code. Because many recurrent problems could get solved using annotation processors!
