Java Programming

So I have a JAR file with some classes in it. I have used DJ Java Decompiler to inspect the class in question and I can definitely see the annotations in it.

I'm working on a Maven MOJO that reads the JAR files to find the annotations, but for some reason my code does not find any annotations at all. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?

The StreamLoader seems to be working because when I load the classes, their names get logged properly. Could there be something in the StreamLoader that is stripping off the annotations?

Cheers, Eric
