Checking if e.g. a class has a certain annotation can be done in 2 ways:

ShortName
So only the annotation name like for example: EntityEx
QualifiedName
So the complete name like e.g.: de.unicorntech.roomex.models.EntityEx

The disadvantage of the 1st variant is that theoretically there can be several annotations with the same name, e.g. from other libraries. Thus a comparison would not be 100% safe.

The disadvantage with the 2nd variant is that the actual data type must be resolved for some declerations, which slows down the compilation phase. For it the comparison is however to 99% safe. Unless a developer publishes annotations under a different package name.

So there should be an option to switch between option 1 and 2.
