java.lang.annotation.ElementType:
A program element type. The constants of this enumerated type provide a simple classification of the declared elements in a Java program. These constants are used with the Target meta-annotation type to specify where it is legal to use an annotation type.
There are the following constants:
- ANNOTATION_TYPE - Annotation type declaration
- CONSTRUCTOR - Constructor declaration
- FIELD - Field declaration (includes enum constants)
- LOCAL_VARIABLE - Local variable declaration
- METHOD - Method declaration
- PACKAGE - Package declaration
- PARAMETER - Parameter declaration
- TYPE - Class, interface (including annotation type), or enum declaration
Can someone explain what each of them are (where they'd be annotated in actual code)?
