CustomAttribute is a preview API of the Java platform.

Programs can only use CustomAttribute when preview features are enabled.

Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.

Models a non-standard attribute of a classfile. Clients should extend this class to provide an implementation class for non-standard attributes, and provide an AttributeMapper^PREVIEW to mediate between the classfile format and the CustomAttribute^PREVIEW representation.
