Expand Up @@ -17,7 +17,15 @@ Jandex now also includes integration with Gizmo 2.
Gizmo 2 is an evolution of Gizmo, the bytecode generation framework used in Quarkus.
Gizmo version 1 used Jandex in its core, but Gizmo version 2 does not.
Therefore, an integration package is needed.
This version of Jandex includes one, providing all the necessary methods like `classDescOf(org.jboss.jandex.Type)` or `genericTypeOf(org.jboss.jandex.Type)`.
All integration code is present in `static` methods of the class `Jandex2Gizmo`.
This version of Jandex includes a new module, `io.smallrye:jandex-gizmo2`, which contains a class called `Jandex2Gizmo` with these `static` methods:

* `classDescOf()` to create `java.lang.constant.ClassDesc`
* `fieldDescOf()` to create `io.quarkus.gizmo2.desc.FieldDesc`
* `methodDescOf()` to create `io.quarkus.gizmo2.desc.MethodDesc`
* `constructorDescOf()` to create `io.quarkus.gizmo2.desc.ConstructorDesc`
* `genericTypeOf*()` to create `io.quarkus.gizmo2.GenericType` and its subtypes
* `typeArgumentOf()` to create `io.quarkus.gizmo2.TypeArgument`
* `copyTypeParameters()` and `addTypeParameter()`
* `copyAnnotations()` and `addAnnotation()`
