Get annotation attribute value as Java string

Hello Thomas,

((PsiLiteralExpression) findAttributeValue()).getValue()

I have an annotation:

@Doc(desc = "Foo.\n" +
>
> "Bar.");
>

I call
getModifierList().findAnnotation("com.mycompany.Doc").findAttributeVal
ue("desc").getText() but it returns everything literally including
the quotes (i.e. ""Foo.\n" + "Bar.""). How do I get the content of
desc as a Java string (e.g. "Foo.\nBar.")?

Wow that's cool, thanks Dmitry!

Anyway that doesn't work for arrays (e.g. @Doc(except = {"foo", "bar"})). How do I get such value?

Hello Thomas,

Have you actually made any attempt to figure the answer by yourself? It's
not hard at all. Hint: look at other classes that implement PsiAnnotationMemberValue.

Hi Dmitry, I can't pull the source (http://www.jetbrains.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=983225), maybe company firewall, and I depend on Google to look for documentation. Basically I'm doing detective work when developing the plugin :)

Hi Thomas,

Community Edition is also replicated to github that provides http access - https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community
