元注解

作用:用来修饰注解 @Target ----- 作用对象

@Retention ----作用时期 作用范围@Reatention:枚举类型 ElementType 1: Source:注解只保留在源文件,当Java文件编译成class文件的时候,注解被遗弃; 源码: Annotations are to be discarded by the compiler. 2: Class:注解被保留到class文件,但jvm加载class文件时候被遗弃,这是默认的生命周期 源码: Annotations are to be recorded in the class file by the compiler,but need not be retained by the VM at run time. This is the default behavior. 3. Runtime:注解不仅被保存到class文件中,jvm加载class文件之后,仍然存在。 源码: Annotations are to be recorded in the class file by the compiler andretained by the VM at run time, so they may be read reflectively.

三个作用时期分别可以对应文件的 Source ---- 源文件(.java文件) Class ---- 编译文件(.class文件) Runtime ---- 运行文件(字节码)
