Annotation on Intersectingtype

[Mohan Radhakrishnan]

It was tricky but this works partly.

Annotation [[]] [java.lang.String&java.io.Serializable]

            TypeVariable tv = (TypeVariable)typeParameterElement.asType();

            TypeMirror tm = tv.getUpperBound();

            System.out.println( "Annotation [" + Arrays.asList(
tm.getAnnotationsByType(com.test.IntersectionType.TypeUse.class)) + "] [" +
tm  + "]");


Thanks,
Mohan
