Annotation Type PluginAttribute

  • @Documented
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({PARAMETER,FIELD})
@PluginVisitorStrategy(PluginAttributeVisitor.class)
public @interface PluginAttribute
    Identifies a Plugin Attribute and its default value. Note that only one of the defaultFoo attributes will be used based on the type this annotation is attached to. Thus, for primitive types, the defaultType attribute will be used for some Type. However, for more complex types (including enums), the default string value is used instead and should correspond to the string that would correctly convert to the appropriate enum value using Enum.valueOf.
