Interface | Description |
---|---|
Annotation |
The common interface extended by all annotation types.
|
Enum | Description |
---|---|
ElementType |
The constants of this enumerated type provide a simple classification of the
syntactic locations where annotations may appear in a Java program.
|
RetentionPolicy |
Annotation retention policy.
|
Exception | Description |
---|---|
AnnotationTypeMismatchException |
Thrown to indicate that a program has attempted to access an element of
an annotation whose type has changed after the annotation was compiled
(or serialized).
|
IncompleteAnnotationException |
Thrown to indicate that a program has attempted to access an element of
an annotation type that was added to the annotation type definition after
the annotation was compiled (or serialized).
|
Error | Description |
---|---|
AnnotationFormatError |
Thrown when the annotation parser attempts to read an annotation
from a class file and determines that the annotation is malformed.
|
Annotation Type | Description |
---|---|
Documented |
If the annotation
@Documented is present on the declaration
of an annotation type A, then any @A annotation on
an element is considered part of the element's public contract. |
Inherited |
Indicates that an annotation type is automatically inherited.
|
Native |
Indicates that a field defining a constant value may be referenced
from native code.
|
Repeatable |
The annotation type
java.lang.annotation.Repeatable is
used to indicate that the annotation type whose declaration it
(meta-)annotates is repeatable. |
Retention |
Indicates how long annotations with the annotated type are to
be retained.
|
Target |
Indicates the contexts in which an annotation type is applicable.
