## Class AnnotationMap

- java.lang.Object

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Annotations

      public final class AnnotationMap
      extends Object
      implements Annotations

  Simple helper class used to keep track of collection of Jackson Annotations associated with annotatable things (methods, constructors, classes). Note that only Jackson-owned annotations are tracked (for now?).
