Annotation Type MixinFor

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface MixinFor

Add annotations to another class that you can't change; if you can change that class, use explicit Stereotypes instead. Using Mixins is very implicit and difficult to trace back; it is often better to actually copy the target class, so you can directly add your annotations, instead of working with mixins. You have been warned! If you have a class that you don't control, e.g.:

     public class ImportedClass {
         ...
     }
 

And you need it to be annotated as @SomeAnnotation. Then you can write a mixin (the name is arbitrary):

     @MixinFor(ImportedClass.class)
     @SomeAnnotation
     public class ImportedClassMixin {
         ...
     }
 

After the Power Annotations have been resolved, the target class looks as if it had another annotation:

     @SomeAnnotation
     public class ImportedClass {
         ...
     }
