Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

A
meta-annotation
of this type indicates that the annotated type should be documented
by Javadoc and similar documentation tools. If an annotation type is
an @Documented annotation, then the presence of an
annotation of that type is part of the public API of the annotated
program element. java.lang.Deprecated is an
@Documented annotation type, for example, and so
are each of the meta-annotation types in this package.

It is recommended that any annotation type that is
@Documented should also have runtime
@Retention so that the presence of the annotation
can be queried via reflection.
