      <I extends BaseNature, A extends Annotation> boolean processAnnotation(I info, A annotation, AnnotatedElement target) throws AnnotationTargetException
      The processing action of this processor. If an annotation is given which is not supported false is returned.
      Parameters:
      info - the Info class that should be filled with the information read
      annotation - the annotation to process
      target - the target (Field, Class, etc.) of the given annotation
      Returns:
      true, if the annotation was processed successfully, false if not
      Throws:
      AnnotationTargetException - if an annotation is used in a context that is not valid.
