&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;Taken from [[wikipedia::Annotations]]:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Annotations provide data about a software program that is not part of the program itself. They have no direct effect on the operation of the code they annotate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Annotations have a number of uses, among them:&lt;br /&gt;
* Information for the compiler — Annotations can be used by the compiler to detect errors or suppress warnings.&lt;br /&gt;
* Compiler-time and deployment-time processing — Software tools (like [[AnnotationProcessor]]s) can process annotation information to generate boilerplate code, XML files, and so forth.&lt;br /&gt;
* Runtime processing — Some annotations are available to the developer/manager for examination at runtime.&lt;br /&gt;
Annotations can be applied to a program's declarations of classes, fields, methods, interfaces, arrays and other program elements.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
