- Method Detail
  - public AnnotationNode addAnnotation(ClassNode type)
    
    Adds a new annotation of the specified type to this node. Creates an AnnotationNode and attaches it.
    Parameters:
    type - the annotation type as a ClassNode
    Returns:
    the newly created AnnotationNode
  - public void addAnnotation(AnnotationNode annotation)
    
    Attaches an annotation node to this AST node. Does nothing if the annotation is null. Lazily initializes the annotations list.
    Parameters:
    annotation - the AnnotationNode to attach
  - public void addAnnotations(List<AnnotationNode> annotations)
    
    Attaches a list of annotations to this AST node. Individually adds each annotation in the list.
    Parameters:
    annotations - list of AnnotationNode objects to attach
  - public List<AnnotationNode> getAnnotations()
    
    Returns all annotations attached to this AST node. Annotations are runtime-visible or source-level metadata attached to language elements.
    Returns:
    list of AnnotationNode, or empty list if none
  - public List<AnnotationNode> getAnnotations(ClassNode type)
    
    Returns annotations of a specific type attached to this AST node. Filters the annotation list by the provided type.
    Parameters:
    type - the annotation type to filter by
    Returns:
    list of matching AnnotationNode, or empty list if none
  - public ClassNode getDeclaringClass()
    
    Returns the class that declares this annotated node. For class members (fields, methods), this is the enclosing class. Returns null for top-level declarations.
    Returns:
    the declaring ClassNode, or null if none
  - public Groovydoc getGroovydoc()
    
    Returns the Groovydoc associated with this node. Groovydoc is documentation metadata attached to source elements. Returns Groovydoc.EMPTY_GROOVYDOC if no documentation is available.
    Returns:
    the Groovydoc for this node
  - public AnnotatedNode getInstance()
    
    Returns this node instance (used by GroovydocHolder interface).
    Returns:
    this AnnotatedNode
  - public boolean hasNoRealSourcePosition()
    
    Checks whether this node has a real source position. Returns false for compiler-generated nodes (like default constructors). This flag distinguishes user-written code from synthetic compiler output.
    Returns:
    true if this node was explicitly written in source code
    See Also:
    hasNoRealSourcePosition()
  - public boolean isSynthetic()
    
    Checks whether this node was added by the compiler (synthetic). Synthetic nodes include auto-generated methods, constructors, and other compiler-inserted elements. Note: This flag is distinct from the synthetic modifier for classes, fields, and methods in bytecode.
    Returns:
    true if this node was generated by the compiler, false if user-written
  - public void setDeclaringClass(ClassNode declaringClass)
    
    Sets the class that declares this annotated node. Establishes the ownership relationship for class members.
    Parameters:
    declaringClass - the declaring ClassNode
  - public void setHasNoRealSourcePosition(boolean hasNoRealSourcePosition)
    
    Marks whether this node has a real source position. Used to distinguish compiler-generated nodes from user-written code.
    Parameters:
    hasNoRealSourcePosition - false if this node was explicitly written in source
  - public void setSynthetic(boolean synthetic)
    
    Marks this node as having been added by the compiler (synthetic). Synthetic nodes include auto-generated methods, constructors, and other compiler-inserted elements. Note: This flag is distinct from the synthetic modifier for classes, fields, and methods in bytecode.
    Parameters:
    synthetic - true to mark as compiler-generated, false for user-written
