Annotation Type Retention
@Documented
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=ANNOTATION_TYPE)
public @interface Retention
Indicates how long annotations with the annotated type are to
be retained. If no Retention annotation is present on
an annotation type declaration, the retention policy defaults to
RetentionPolicy.CLASS.
A Retention meta-annotation has effect only if the
meta-annotated type is used directly for annotation. It has no
effect if the meta-annotated type is used as a member type in
another annotation type.
