  - ### Method Detail

    - #### accept

          public void accept(Visitor v)

      Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitely defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.
      Specified by:
        `accept` in interface `Node`
      Specified by:
        `accept` in class `Attribute`
      Parameters:
        `v` - Visitor object

    - #### setAnnotationTable

          public final void setAnnotationTable(AnnotationEntry[] annotation_table)

      Parameters:
        `annotation_table` - the entries to set in this annotation

    - #### getAnnotationEntries

          public AnnotationEntry[] getAnnotationEntries()

      returns the array of annotation entries in this annotation

    - #### getNumAnnotations

          public final int getNumAnnotations()

      Returns:
        the number of annotation entries in this annotation

    - #### isRuntimeVisible

          public boolean isRuntimeVisible()

    - #### writeAnnotations

          protected void writeAnnotations(DataOutputStream dos)
                                   throws IOException

      Throws:
        `IOException`
