Returns the value as a list of annotations. @throws IllegalArgumentException if the value if not an array of annotations.

Returns the {@link Element} corresponding to the name information saved in this factory, or null if none exists.

Returns the properties to be generated by AutoValue, with their types. Each key is a property name, and the corresponding value is the type of that pr

Maps a serializable type back to its original AutoValue property.
