### Reference reading on technologies used in AndHow, or related info
Documentation on Annotation Processors is sparse. It seems to be the geeky subgenre of geeky Java coders. Here are a few articles and references I've come across in working on this.
[The Hacker's Guide to Javac](http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fscg.unibe.ch%2Farchive%2Fprojects%2FErni08b.pdf\&sa=D\&sntz=1\&usg=AFQjCNFj-pCMLm50EZO4dUXoDaRiGC32yg)
The article that convinced me this project was possible.
[Java Annotation Processors - An introduction](https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fcloudogu.com%2Fen%2Fblog%2FJava-Annotation-Processors_1-Intro\&sa=D\&sntz=1\&usg=AFQjCNHgmAUvtk3DgoTRSsKaTdFi5oDweQ)
A three part into to Annotation Processors. The third part gets into working with classes and types.
[Annotation processing during compilation time: Error Handling](http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fhauchee.blogspot.com%2F2015%2F11%2Fcompile-time-annotation-processing-error-handling.html\&sa=D\&sntz=1\&usg=AFQjCNHOTBjX0cDm8BbrqtkuzRg_p6d7sg)
