Retention | java.lang.annotation |
Java 5.0 | @Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(ANNOTATION_TYPE) annotation |
A meta-annotation of this type specifies how long the annotated annotation type should be retained. The value( ) of this annotation type is one of the three RetentionPolicy enumerated constants. See RetentionPolicy for details. If an annotation type does not have an @Retention meta-annotation, its default retention is RetentionPolicy.CLASS.
