Annotation Type EvolvingAll


  • @SupportedAll
    @Retention(RUNTIME)
    @Documented
    @Target({PACKAGE,TYPE,ANNOTATION_TYPE})
    public @interface EvolvingAll
    This annotation marks AM APIs that are continuing to evolve and so should be expected to change, potentially in backwards-incompatible ways even in a minor release. Changes are documented at the time of product release.

    The scope of the annotation is limited to the component that is annotated and all of its child components. In other words, if a class is marked with EvolvingAll, all constructors, fields and methods within that class are considered evolving.
