Exclude class level variable

[otisonoza]

Excluding a class level variable is not possible and raises the following compiler error:

annotation type not applicable to this kind of declaration
        @Exclude
        ^

public class FlawDetails {
	@Exclude
	private String comment;

Hi @otisonoza,

Thanks for letting me know! Indeed, that is a bug and not a feature. Will be fixed for the next release!

Status update:

• ghostwriter-api needs to be updated to allow the exclude annotation on fields as well (simple matter)
• field definition excludes are class definition local, so writing to a public field from a different class is a tricky case that needs some work
