```
public class GenericAnnotations

  - GenericAnnotations
```
public GenericAnnotations()
```
    Creates an empty annotation set.
  - GenericAnnotations
```
public GenericAnnotations(String storage)
```
    Creates an annotation set initialized with a storage string created with toString().
    
    Parameters:
    
    storage - the storage string to use.
  - GenericAnnotations
```
public GenericAnnotations(GenericAnnotation annotation)
```
    Creates an annotation set and add a given one.
    
    Parameters:
    
    annotation - the annotation to add.
- Method Detail
  - createFromString
```
public static GenericAnnotations createFromString(String storage)
```
    Creates a new GenericAnnotations object from a storage string.
    
    Parameters:
    
    storage - the serialized representation of the object.
    
    Returns:
    
    a new GenericAnnotations object.
  - addAnnotations
```
public static void addAnnotations(IWithAnnotations nameable,
                                  GenericAnnotations newSet)
```
    Adds a set of annotations to a given INameable object (e.g. TextUnit, TextContainer, etc.). If the object has no annotation set already attached, one is created and attached, otherwise all the annotations of the set passed as argument are added to the existing set.
    
    Parameters:
    
    nameable - the object where to attached the new set.
    
    newSet - the new set to add (can be null: then nothing is attached).
  - addAnnotations
```
public static void addAnnotations(Code code,
                                  GenericAnnotations newSet)
```
    Adds a set of annotations to a given inline code. If the inline code has no annotation set attached yet one is created and attached, otherwise all the annotations of the set passed as argument are added to the existing set.
    
    Parameters:
    
    code - the code where to add the annotation.
    
    newSet - the new set to add (can be null: then nothing is attached).
  - clone
```
public GenericAnnotations clone()
```
    Clones this annotation and make sure its still has a unique ID.
    
    Specified by:
    
    clone in interface IPersistentAnnotation
    
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class InlineAnnotation
    
    Returns:
    
    A new InlineAnnotation object that is a copy of this one.
  - size
```
public int size()
```

    true if terms exist in this annotation.
  - getAnnotations
```
public List<GenericAnnotation> getAnnotations(String type)
