What does that mean? You can't annotate an instance.

[gmariotti]

Can’t you? I’m actually not an expert there, that’s why I’m asking

[gmariotti]

nope, my bad, it was quite a stupid question

[Alowaniak]

Doesn't he mean that he wants the annotations on the Class.Companion instead of on the Class? I'm not sure if that's not already the case now though Oh nvm

[gmariotti]

actually, I just realised that in Java you can annotate a field. And what I want to do is actually that, annotate the field Companion.$$Instance generated by the companion object

[gmariotti]

I thought that @field:Annotation would do the trick but it doesn’t seem to work

[karelpeeters]

I don't think that's possible, you may have to create an issue for that.

[karelpeeters]

Out of interest, what's your use case?

[gmariotti]

vertx-codegen is not able to avoid it when doing service proxy generation, at least for now. But, for the Vert.x case, having a companion object should be avoided, imo.
