Annotation Types Summary

Annotation Type	Description
Bottom	A special annotation intended solely for representing the bottom type in the qualifier hierarchy.
DefaultQualifier	Applied to a declaration of a package, type, method, variable, etc., specifies that the given annotation should be the default.
DefaultQualifierInHierarchy	Indicates that the annotated qualifier is the default qualifier in the qualifier hierarchy: it applies if the programmer writes no explicit qualifier.
DefaultQualifiers	Specifies the annotations to be included in a type without having to provide them explicitly.
Dependent	Refines the qualified type of the annotated field or variable based on the qualified type of the receiver.
ImplicitFor	A meta-annotation that specifies the trees and types for which the framework should automatically add that qualifier.
InvisibleQualifier	A meta-annotation indicating that the annotated annotation is a type qualifier that should not be visible in output.
PolyAll	A polymorphic type qualifier that varies over all type hierarchies.
PolymorphicQualifier	A meta-annotation that indicates that an annotation is a polymorphic type qualifier.
StubFiles	An annotation on a SourceChecker subclass to provide additional stub files that should be used in addition to jdk.astub.
SubtypeOf	A meta-annotation to specify all the qualifiers that the given qualifier is a subtype of.
TypeQualifier	A meta-annotation indicating that the annotated annotation is a type qualifier.
TypeQualifiers	An annotation that lists the type qualifiers supported by the annotated Checker.
Unqualified	A special annotation intended solely for representing an unqualified type in the qualifier hierarchy, as an argument to SubtypeOf.value(), in the type qualifiers declarations.
Unused	Declares that the field may not be accessed if the receiver is of the specified qualifier type (or any supertype).

Package checkers.quals Description

Contains the basic annotations to be used by all type systems and meta-annotations to qualify annotations (qualifiers). They may serve as documentation for the type qualifiers, and aid the Checker Framework to infer the relations between the type qualifiers.
