Hide value() of Annotations for one of its @Target(ElementType[])
I made an annotation which can be applyed to types and methods.
Types have a exclusive feature, which does nothing for methods.
For the user I only want to display the annotation values which make sense.
How can I hide classOnlyFeature() for Methods, if there is a way.
package test;
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;
@Target({ElementType.TYPE,ElementType.METHOD})
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface Test {
String classLevelFeature() default "";
String sharedFeature() default "";
}
My intension is to minimize the value()s an user can "see" when using the annotation (IDE can warn you that specific value() is not allowed at this ElementType). All in all to make usabillity easier.
