Incremental modification detector, and methods, systems, and apparatus for implementing the same

摘要

A method for selecting an annotation processor associated with an annotation for reprocessing is provided. The annotation is included in a computer software source code. An annotation snapshot is captured and a hash value is generated for the annotation snapshot. The annotation snapshot hash value is compared with a hash value of a previous annotation snapshot. The annotation processor associated with the annotation is marked for reprocessing when the annotation snapshot hash value is different from the hash value of the previous annotation snapshot.
