Annotation Type AliasFor

@Documented
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=ANNOTATION_TYPE)
public @interface AliasFor

Marks a qualifier annotation as an alias for another qualifier. Useful for deprecating qualifiers.

The aliased qualifier (the one bearing this annotation) is treated exactly as the qualifier it aliases. Aliases are recursive and transitive, and the alias annotations are followed until an unaliased qualifier is found. Circular alias loops are not allowed.
