There are **major** changes to the API to provide for a way to easily extend the scanning functionality, hence it lives here on it's own.
This library can be used to scan (part of) the class path for annotated classes, methods or instance variables. Main advantages of this library compared with similar solutions are: light weight (simple API, **20 kb jar file**) and **very fast** (fastest annotation detection library as far as I know).
This project **includes** some utility classes, which are an extremely small subset of a much larger library; including only what is *necessary* for this particular project to function. Additionally this project is **kept in sync** with the utilities library, so "jar hell" is not an issue, and the latest release will always include the same utility files as all other projects in the dorkbox repository at that time.
Please note that the utility classes have their source code included in the release, and eventually the entire utility library will be provided as a dorkbox repository.
