Annotation Type DefaultQualifier


@Documented
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={CONSTRUCTOR,METHOD,FIELD,LOCAL_VARIABLE,PARAMETER,TYPE})
public @interface DefaultQualifier

Applied to a declaration of a package, type, method, variable, etc., specifies that the given annotation should be the default, that will be applied to all types within the declaration for which no other annotation is explicitly written.

If multiple DefaultQualifier annotations are in scope, the innermost one takes precedence.

If you wish to write multiple @DefaultQualifier annotations (for unrelated type systems) at the same location, use DefaultQualifiers.

the locations to which the annotation should be applied
Default:
checkers.quals.DefaultLocation.ALL
