Package org.codehaus.groovy.transform

## Class CategoryASTTransformation

- java.lang.Object
- - org.codehaus.groovy.transform.CategoryASTTransformation

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `ASTTransformation`, `org.objectweb.asm.Opcodes`

      public class CategoryASTTransformation
      extends Object
      implements ASTTransformation, org.objectweb.asm.Opcodes

  Handles generation of code for the @Category annotation.

  Transformation logic is as follows:

  - all non-static methods converted to static ones with an additional 'self' parameter
  - references to 'this' changed to the additional 'self' parameter

      Property invocations done on 'this' reference are transformed so that the invocations at runtime are done on the additional parameter 'self'
      Specified by:
        `visit` in interface `ASTTransformation`
      Parameters:
        `nodes` - The ASTnodes when the call was triggered. Element 0 is the AnnotationNode that triggered this annotation to be activated. Element 1 is the AnnotatedNode decorated, such as a MethodNode or ClassNode. For global transformations it is usually safe to ignore this parameter.
        `source` - The source unit being compiled. The source unit may contain several classes. For global transformations, information about the AST can be retrieved from this object.
