Uses of Target in java.beans

Classes in java.beans with annotations of type Target

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
@interface	BeanProperty	An annotation used to specify some property-related information for the automatically generated BeanInfo classes.
@interface	ConstructorProperties	An annotation on a constructor that shows how the parameters of that constructor correspond to the constructed object's getter methods.
@interface	JavaBean	An annotation used to specify some class-related information for the automatically generated BeanInfo classes.
@interface	Transient	Indicates that an attribute called "transient" should be declared with the given value when the Introspector constructs a PropertyDescriptor or EventSetDescriptor classes associated with the annotated code element.

Uses of Target in java.io

Classes in java.io with annotations of type Target

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
@interface	Serial	Indicates that an annotated field or method is part of the serialization mechanism defined by the Java Object Serialization Specification.

Uses of Target in java.lang

Classes in java.lang with annotations of type Target

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
@interface	Deprecated	A program element annotated @Deprecated is one that programmers are discouraged from using.
@interface	FunctionalInterface	An informative annotation type used to indicate that an interface type declaration is intended to be a functional interface as defined by the Java Language Specification.
@interface	Override	Indicates that a method declaration is intended to override a method declaration in a supertype.
@interface	SafeVarargs	A programmer assertion that the body of the annotated method or constructor does not perform potentially unsafe operations on its varargs parameter.

Uses of Target in java.lang.annotation

Classes in java.lang.annotation with annotations of type Target

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
@interface	Documented	If the annotation @Documented is present on the declaration of an annotation interface A, then any @A annotation on an element is considered part of the element's public contract.
@interface	Inherited	Indicates that an annotation interface is automatically inherited.
@interface	Native	Indicates that a field defining a constant value may be referenced from native code.
@interface	Repeatable	The annotation interface java.lang.annotation.Repeatable is used to indicate that the annotation interface whose declaration it (meta-)annotates is repeatable.
@interface	Retention	Indicates how long annotations with the annotated interface are to be retained.
@interface	Target	Indicates the contexts in which an annotation interface is applicable.

Uses of Target in javax.annotation.processing

Classes in javax.annotation.processing with annotations of type Target

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
@interface	Generated	The Generated annotation is used to mark source code that has been generated.
@interface	SupportedAnnotationTypes	An annotation used to indicate what annotation interfaces an annotation processor supports.
@interface	SupportedOptions	An annotation used to indicate what options an annotation processor supports.
@interface	SupportedSourceVersion	An annotation used to indicate the latest source version an annotation processor supports.

Uses of Target in javax.management

Classes in javax.management with annotations of type Target

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
@interface	ConstructorParameters	An annotation on a constructor that shows how the parameters of that constructor correspond to the constructed object's getter methods.
@interface	DescriptorKey	Meta-annotation that describes how an annotation element relates to a field in a Descriptor.
@interface	MXBean	Annotation to mark an interface explicitly as being an MXBean interface, or as not being an MXBean interface.

Uses of Target in javax.swing

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
@interface	SwingContainer	An annotation used to specify some swing-related information for the automatically generated BeanInfo classes.

Uses of Target in jdk.jfr

Classes in jdk.jfr with annotations of type Target

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
@interface	BooleanFlag	Event field annotation, specifies that the value is a boolean flag, a true or false value.
@interface	Category	Event annotation, to associate the event type with a category, in the format of a human-readable path.
@interface	ContentType	Meta annotation, specifies that an annotation represents a content type, such as a time span or a frequency.
@interface	DataAmount	Event field annotation, specifies that a value represents an amount of data (for example, bytes).
@interface	Description	Annotation that describes an element by using a sentence or two.
@interface	Enabled	Event annotation, determines if an event should be enabled by default.
