There are methods on Class to access the annotations.

So the usual style is to get the Class, get the Annotations, and iterate thru the list doing an "instanceof" check to see if its a

Annotation Type FrontmanCommand

and then casting the returned value to this type so you can access 'value'?

A bit wordy, but doable.
