Annotation Type ImplicitFor

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=ANNOTATION_TYPE)
public @interface ImplicitFor

A meta-annotation that specifies the trees and types for which the framework should automatically add that qualifier. These types and trees can be specified via any combination of four fields.

For example, the Nullable annotation is annotated with

   @ImplicitFor(trees={Tree.Kind.NULL_LITERAL})
 

to denote that the framework should automatically apply Nullable to all instances of "null."
