Annotations are a really cool part of the Java language. Many developers know how to use annotations, but not so many know how simple it is to create their own custom annotations.
In this video, we'll go over how to create 3 different types of custom annotations in Java, and how you can use those annotations to do cool things in your programs.
If you're confused by creating annotations in Java, you're in the right place!

As a few commenters have mentioned, I forgot to note that you can also use enums as an annotation parameter.
Let me know if you guys have other questions about annotations!
Streams and Optional :) And thank you :)
I was wondering, can we actually make annotations like in python where you would annotate a method so that something runs before and/or after the method has ran ?
@@shlack Did you ask for junit ? If not just read about listeners in java, it could help you
@Henryk Zschuppan config reader, good point for tutorial.
Hi John, thank you for your videos, I'm not a programmer, I'm just an enthusiast and I want you to know what your videos are really helpful and worth watching.
Would be nice to see a part 2 where you have a preprocessor for the annotation so you won't have to write logic for a specific objcet to process the annotation, but instead to be processed where you apply it.
I was just gonna come here to suggest that. It would be cool to see something like an annotation for a field that generates getters/setters (I know this isn’t something you’d actually build, but just an example) or maybe a method timer that logs how long a decorated method takes to execute. Basically, it’d be nice to see an example that shows an executable use, in addition to the flagging and data storing usage.
Man I second that! That would be great to learn!
I think a good idea, is to implement a anotaciones to prevent null on getter or setter
Yeah. This way it's just pointless.
@@szalaytamas3184 now, let’s not go that far. There is definitely a use to these style of annotations. An actor model driven architecture can use these sorts of annotations to find and track which sorts of things to observe, for example. And a testing framework can use these sorts of annotations to mark which methods to test.
Dear John, you are something else. All your tutorials are just great. Very well simplified, straight to the point, very educative and really impactful. I have learnt a lot from you. Infact, I always read a minimum of 10 articles on the internet about a particular topic am learning at any time, watch 10 CZcams tutorials on that topic from different tutors. I always use your tutorial to drive that concept deep in my spirit. Each time I watch your tutorial, I get a signal from my spirit saying "Enthrone" you have successfully sink this in. Keep it up man. A big fan from Nigeria West Africa.
I love the way you explain in your videos. It is always clear and understandable. Most of all I always learn something. Thank you man. Greetings from France.
Ouais on a pas des tutos comme ça nous...
i always struggled with annotation when creating my custom ones without understanding it completely thank you very much john for this awesome explanation.
Although I have been working as a Java Software developer for more than a year, I learn something new from your videos all the time. Thanks for the tutorials. I wish I had such a Team Lead as you or worked in your team.
Hey John, thanks for all [public static final] videos. Please continue doing the good work.
Thank you so much for this. I was especially surprised at how much reflection was required for processing!
John! You have amazing presentations and I am all for it. I went to subscribe right away, only to figure out I already am! Thank you for pumping out these videos. They are so helpful!
Java is a beatifull language❤️
lmfao
So beautiful it will confuse you with all these annotation bs 😂
its fucking awesome. people meme on it too much.
It's certainly my cup of java, lol
❤ Java
Even when I watch a video that I already know about, I can learn something new.
Thank you John!
The way you teach any concept is just amazing.
Finally someone who explains this in a clear way. Thank you John
Thank you for explaining custom annotations in such a straightforward way.
I have been reading books and some articles on internet all day, and just watched this video... In 20 minutes I've understood much more then in the whole day
Thank you very much!🙏
John, I need to say... Your videos are freaking awesome! Excellent explanation.
Could you bring more content about collections and how they work in deep, please?
Hi! John, I love the way you teach difficult topics with a hint of fun and humour, and that makes your videos effortless to understand. Could you please make your next video on regular expressions?
The best explanation I have seen covering Java annotations thank you
Awesome! I didn't even know that you can handle object methods and object variables this way! Thank you so much!
Yeah reflection is something. Like magic methods etc. In python.
Nice and simple explanation. Thanks!
John you're an absolute LEGEND for the way you explain complex things in a simple way. Please continue being you and do what you're doing. Would love to see some more advanced Java topics as others has mentioned with annotations and reflection! What you've described in this video is also, what I assume, closely related to Aspect Oriented Programming or IS in all practical sense, AOT?
Thank you very much John! I like to develop in Java very much. But today i learned something new. I like learning on a practical way very much, keep on the good work. Because there are not enough people where we can learn good things like this. I'm now a fan of your work.
I actually have a interesting case for Annotation.
I am writing a pretty big mod that is synchronizing fields automatically through networking.
So you just have to request the field name to be synchronized.
What you have to do is add the "@NetworkField" Annotation to the Field and it will be automatically mapped to the networking manager.
Which allows me to compress information down to 1 byte instead of having to write down the fields name, since they are automatically mapped I just write down the Index it was mapped to and send the data over with the index to then use that info to gather the index automatically.
Another usecase is for plugins where a Annotation is the Indicator where a class might be a plugin. Which allows you to make modding support super easy for you or other people.
Good stuff. Congratulations on the sponsorship
Thanks John. It was short yet comprehensive.
The best explanation ever. Thanks
You're legend in explaining things, many thanks man.
Excellent video John!
Thank you, John! Your videos are very helpful.
Nice.. very clear explanation. Thanks !
Wow.! its crystal clear explanation..!
Hi John ! Thanks for all your videos. Your explanations are very precise, crystal clear and whenever I have a question, you answer it a few seconds later. Thanks a lot !
I was looking for a video on java Streams which is a totally new subject for me. Your explanations on this would be really helpful. Thanks again for your work !
Thanks a lot, John! Very useful tutorial.
here again thanks alot for clarifying thing in the simplest term with an example. when using annotation alot in work. It really fascinating how the background thinggy work. Best Basic Java instructor in YT.
Every video i watched from your channel has been easy to follow along and understandable. Is there going to be Spring tutorials in the future? Keep up the amazing work!!
Please john make a spring boot series. I really like the way you tech. I will love to learn spring boot from you. Specifically if you make a monolithic application from the scratch then move to microservices part. We the followers of yours looking forward to it. So much love and respect for you.
Great video man! I would love to see a tutorial on reflection one day!! It seems very interesting
This video is about a not-so-trivial subject and still is so clear that it seems easy ✌ so great
Thank you, John!
Thank you so much for this video honestly!!
Excellent video about implementing a custom annotation, great content, keep going!
Thanks John, it's helpful
Awesome as always! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for such a quality explanation of Annotations.
Man am I glad I found your channel, I was going crazy tying to learn Java from other videos. (I was actually about to give up and switch to Js lol)
Thanks John! Would love to see a lesson on regular expressions (patterns)
Hi John, this is a great tutorial, thank you for that!
Thanks, John! Would love to see a lesson on Stream API for processing collections of objects.
awesome as always, your presention is so nice, thanks for sharing!
Hands down the best Java guru here on CZcams!! 👌
Been really enjoying the videos! Could you please do a video on the “static” keyword? :)
Great video!
Can you do separate video on getClass and Reflection?
Also, can you do series on dependency injection.
Thank you very much for this explanation!
Thank you for this!!
The moment I made the code work, you also showed Stella on the screen and it was the best payoff I have ever had aaw. Thanks for the videos, they have been great help for me for an interview preparation. Very clear explanations and examples.
Hello John
Thank you for making this great video!!
I always enjoyed your video, and learnt a lot from them.
I watched this video, and not sure if this knowledge point is supposed to be pretty complicated, didn’t fully grasp like I did with all of your previous videos.
I guess this annotation is supposed to be kind of hard!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!! :-)
Thanx! Great and simple tutorial
Great video and you explain the consepts very well! Now, you have one more subscriber. Greetings from Turkey!
Nice explanation John.
thank you alot dear John
Amazing, Nice and easy explanation!
Thank you so much! Finally i figured it out...
thank you for this great explaination
Thanks a lot for your explanation :=) I'm practicing right now
mast explain kiya John bhai
Hey John! As always, very nice video. I always enjoy to watch your videos. Thanks for each and every one of them.
In general, even if only briefly, could you talk about what books you would recommend, especially for beginners, on one subject or another. I know it is very individual. I would still be happy about your recommendation. I’m a beguines to programming and totally a fan of your way of explaining things. Thanks again for all your work.
I need a complete regular expressions tutorial to create "IP filters". The way you teach us is amazing
Not sure when exactly I'll be able to get to it, but it's on the list!
This is so cool! Thanks.
Thank you so much :)
you are a saviour !!!
Your videos are gold! You are a very gifted teacher :-).
It's very clarify, thanks very much.
Very nice tutorial!
what a great video! i think i've learned a lot from it!
Thanks bro, really helped
So Simple , Crisp and Clear Explanation - with extra flavour of where to use it and where not to use. thank you very much
I'm just amazed about how much more there is to learn and then apply it.
It is a pleasure to watch your videos
loved this :) really helpful sir
Very good, John: thanks!
John - I know it is said a lot in here but I love your explanations. Even if I know the topic it is still great to watch
Thanks for the video
Never leave me john.
It would be awesome if you did a video about annotation processors! There are not much tutorial online, and the one there are mostly use external libraries
I really enjoy your videos!!! I learn something new everyday with your videos all the time :) Also can I request on how to do method referencing? I really confuses and there's not good tutorials on youtube. Thanks!!!
awesome content, thank you so much!
Thank you for making this video. Your content is really provides a great value for those who are not privileged to afford high pricey courses and even they will not teach you this way. Love from my heart for your dedication ❤️❤️
Very helpful video!!
Hi John, Loved the way you teach. Please add a Java full stack or Spring boot series as well
Hey,
thank you for this video. I was always interested in annotations but never had the motivation to look at them.
I also would like to have a video about the Factory Design Pattern.
I don't knew this syntatic sugar after instanceof, thanks!
best teacher for beginners and advanced.......even better than mosh
Stella is such a beautiful cat
Nicely explained.
Excellent thanks a lot
Excepting part 2 with real time example scenarios. 😊
Thanks.
You´re the best
