32 /**
33  * Represents an annotated element of the program currently running in this
34  * VM.  This interface allows annotations to be read reflectively.  All
35  * annotations returned by methods in this interface are immutable and
36  * serializable.  It is permissible for the caller to modify the
37  * arrays returned by accessors for array-valued enum members; it will
38  * have no affect on the arrays returned to other callers.
39  *
40  * <p>If an annotation returned by a method in this interface contains
41  * (directly or indirectly) a {@link Class}-valued member referring to
42  * a class that is not accessible in this VM, attempting to read the class
43  * by calling the relevant Class-returning method on the returned annotation
44  * will result in a {@link TypeNotPresentException}.
45  *
46  * <p>Similarly, attempting to read an enum-valued member will result in
47  * a {@link EnumConstantNotPresentException} if the enum constant in the
48  * annotation is no longer present in the enum type.
49  *
50  * <p>Finally, Attempting to read a member whose definition has evolved
51  * incompatibly will result in a {@link
52  * java.lang.annotation.AnnotationTypeMismatchException} or an
53  * {@link java.lang.annotation.IncompleteAnnotationException}.
