@Documented @Retention(value=CLASS) @Target(value=TYPE_USE) public @interface Nullable
TYPE_USE
position:
The type that has this annotation explicitly includes the value null
.
If annotation based null analysis is enabled using this annotation has two consequences:
null
value to an entity (field, local variable, method parameter or method return value)
of this type is legal.NullPointerException
can occur at runtime.
Note: Since org.eclipse.jdt.annotation 2.0.0, the
@Target
is {TYPE_USE}
. For the old API, see
@Nullable
in 1.1.0.
