@CustomAnnotation(name = "SampleClass",  value = "Sample Class Annotation")
class SampleClass {
   private String sampleField;

   @CustomAnnotation(name = "sampleMethod",  value = "Sample Method Annotation")
   public String sampleMethod(){
      return "sample";
   }

   public String getSampleField() {
