Code like in the video not working in the challenge..

If you look at time index 04:01 of this video:

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/java-annotations/writing-your-own-annotation/finishing-the-annotation-targets-and-elements

..you see (what I think) was the code they were going for.

Here's the bad thing about this course (in general):

1.) There is NO TeamTreehouse Workspace for this course 2.) There is NO video transcript .srt files for the video 3.) The zip downloads are "chunk-ified" (split up and not as a single zip download for the course that has separate sub-folders for the different sections of the course).

So the zip you want ("Java Annotations S2V5.zip") is attached to this "Intro to Reflection" course page:

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/java-annotations/writing-your-own-annotation/introduction-to-reflection

The file inside the zip that you need is at path:

/src/com/teamtreehouse/docgen/doc.java

This will save some re-typing (copy/paste is your friend) to get

these three lines for task 1 of 2 of the challenge:

import java.lang.annotation.Target;

import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;

@Target({ElementType.TYPE,ElementType.METHOD})

However task 2 of 2 doesn't use directly use the lines from the video (or it's zipped code).

.

It took me hours of trial and error before I realized that the 'params()' wasn't needed:

  String username() default "";
  String[] hashtags() default {};

Hopefully this will save some people a lot of time if they get stuck...
