Below programs demonstrate the getAnnotations() method.
Example 1:
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.annotation.*;
@Deprecated
public class Test {
public Object obj;
public static void main(String[] args)
throws ClassNotFoundException
{
try {
Class myClass = Test. class ;
System.out.println(
"Class represented by myClass: "
+ myClass.toString());
System.out.println(
"Annotation of myClass: "
+ Arrays.toString(
myClass.getAnnotations()));
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}

@Annotation (key = "GFG" , value = "GeeksForGeeks" )
public class Test {
public Object obj;
public static void main(String[] args)
throws ClassNotFoundException
{
Class myClass = Test. class ;
System.out.println(
"Class represented by myClass: "
+ myClass.toString());
System.out.println(
"Annotation of myClass: "
