Overview

Custom Annotations

Annotation type declarations are similar to normal interface declarations. An at-sign (@) precedes the interface keyword.

Each method declaration defines an element of the annotation type. Method declarations must not have any parameters or a throws clause. Return types are restricted to primitives, String, Class, enums, annotations, and arrays of the preceding types.

Methods can have default values.
