Hi Paul,
In general there are descriptors generated at compile-time based on either
doclettags (old-style) or annotations (new-style).
At runtime it is a matter of reading the descriptor and build up the Maven
runtime, which should be much faster then runtime annotation scanning.
Here's an example of the default implementation of the MojoScanner:
https://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-tools-annotations/xref/org/apache/maven/tools/plugin/extractor/annotations/scanner/DefaultMojoAnnotationsScanner.html
Hope this helps,
Robert

Is there any existing API in any of these projects [1] for scanning
annotations? I am writing a Mojo and want to scan either the project's
source files or binary files -- haven't decided. The answer will depend
on
what APIs are available to me.
