BasicAnnotationProcessor.ProcessingStep (Auto Common Libraries 1.2.2 API)

Enclosing class:

BasicAnnotationProcessor
```
@Deprecated
public static interface BasicAnnotationProcessor.ProcessingStep
```
Deprecated.
Implement BasicAnnotationProcessor.Step instead. See BasicAnnotationProcessor.steps().

The unit of processing logic that runs under the guarantee that all elements are complete and well-formed. A step may reject elements that are not ready for processing but may be at a later round.

```
java.util.Set<? extends java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>> annotations()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    The set of annotation types processed by this step.
  - process
```
java.util.Set<? extends javax.lang.model.element.Element> process(com.google.common.collect.SetMultimap<java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>,javax.lang.model.element.Element> elementsByAnnotation)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    The implementation of processing logic for the step. It is guaranteed that the keys in elementsByAnnotation will be a subset of the set returned by annotations().
    
    Returns:
    
    the elements (a subset of the values of elementsByAnnotation) that this step is unable to process, possibly until a later processing round. These elements will be passed back to this step at the next round of processing.
