> I find myself repeatedly searching for fields (or methods) that are annotated with a specified annotation like this (field-only example):
> {code}
> List<Field> fieldsWithAnnotation = new ArrayList<>(); 
> Field[] fields = FieldUtils.getAllFields(type);
> for (Field field : fields) {
>     Annotation fieldAnnotation = field.getAnnotation(annotation);
>     if (fieldAnnotation != null) {
>         fieldsWithAnnotation.add(fieldAnnotation);
>     }
> }
> {code}
> Commons Lang could provide these methods:
> {code}
> public Field[] AnnotationUtils.getFieldsWithAnnotation(Annotation annotation);
> public List<Field> AnnotationUtils.getFieldListWithAnnotation(Annotation annotation);
> public Method[] AnnotationUtils.getMethodsWithAnnotation(Annotation annotation);
> public List<Method> AnnotationUtils.getMethodListWithAnnotation(Annotation annotation);
> {code}
