/**
* The constants of this enumerated type provide a simple classification of the
* syntactic locations where annotations may appear in a Java program. These
* constants are used in {@link Target java.lang.annotation.Target}
* meta-annotations to specify where it is legal to write annotations of a
* given type.
*
* <p>The syntactic locations where annotations may appear are split into
* <em>declaration contexts</em> , where annotations apply to declarations, and
* <em>type contexts</em> , where annotations apply to types used in
* declarations and expressions.
*
* <p>The constants {@link #ANNOTATION_TYPE} , {@link #CONSTRUCTOR} , {@link
* #FIELD} , {@link #LOCAL_VARIABLE} , {@link #METHOD} , {@link #PACKAGE} ,
* {@link #PARAMETER} , {@link #TYPE} , and {@link #TYPE_PARAMETER} correspond
* to the declaration contexts in JLS 9.6.4.1.
*
* <p>For example, an annotation whose type is meta-annotated with
* {@code @Target(ElementType.FIELD)} may only be written as a modifier for a
* field declaration.
*
* <p>The constant {@link #TYPE_USE} corresponds to the 15 type contexts in JLS
* 4.11, as well as to two declaration contexts: type declarations (including
* annotation type declarations) and type parameter declarations.
*
* <p>For example, an annotation whose type is meta-annotated with
* {@code @Target(ElementType.TYPE_USE)} may be written on the type of a field
* (or within the type of the field, if it is a nested, parameterized, or array
* type), and may also appear as a modifier for, say, a class declaration.
*
* <p>The {@code TYPE_USE} constant includes type declarations and type
* parameter declarations as a convenience for designers of type checkers which
* give semantics to annotation types. For example, if the annotation type
* {@code NonNull} is meta-annotated with
* {@code @Target(ElementType.TYPE_USE)}, then {@code @NonNull}
* {@code class C {...}} could be treated by a type checker as indicating that
* all variables of class {@code C} are non-null, while still allowing
* variables of other classes to be non-null or not non-null based on whether
* {@code @NonNull} appears at the variable's declaration.
