1.31 +/**
1.32 + * Indicates the kinds of program element to which an annotation type
1.33 + * is applicable. If a Target meta-annotation is not present on an
1.34 + * annotation type declaration, the declared type may be used on any
1.35 + * program element. If such a meta-annotation is present, the compiler
1.36 + * will enforce the specified usage restriction.
1.37 + *
1.38 + * For example, this meta-annotation indicates that the declared type is
1.39 + * itself a meta-annotation type. It can only be used on annotation type
1.40 + * declarations:
1.41 + * <pre>
1.42 + * @Target(ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE)
1.43 + * public @interface MetaAnnotationType {
1.44 + * ...
1.45 + * }
1.46 + * </pre>
1.47 + * This meta-annotation indicates that the declared type is intended solely
1.48 + * for use as a member type in complex annotation type declarations. It
1.49 + * cannot be used to annotate anything directly:
1.50 + * <pre>
1.51 + * @Target({})
1.52 + * public @interface MemberType {
1.53 + * ...
1.54 + * }
1.55 + * </pre>
1.56 + * It is a compile-time error for a single ElementType constant to
1.57 + * appear more than once in a Target annotation. For example, the
1.58 + * following meta-annotation is illegal:
1.59 + * <pre>
1.60 + * @Target({ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD})
1.61 + * public @interface Bogus {
1.62 + * ...
1.63 + * }
1.64 + * </pre>
