Annotation Type Layers

@Documented
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=PACKAGE)
public @interface Layers

Container annotation for multiple Layer annotations. It is a modeling error for an entity to have both a Layers and a Layer annotation.

Semantics:

This annotation holds a list Layer declarations without imposing any further constraint on the program's implementation.

Examples:

Declaring two type sets on the same package (only in a package-info.java file).

 @Layers({
   @Layer("MODEL may refer to UTIL"),
   @Layer("CONTROLLER may refer to MODEL | java.io.File")
 })
 package org.example;
 
 import com.surelogic.*;
 

Javadoc usage notes:

This annotation is not supported in Javadoc because Javadoc supports multiple @annotate tags of the same type (see the example below). Javadoc annotation can be useful for Java 1.4 code which does not include language support for annotations.

 /**
  * @annotate Layer("MODEL may refer to UTIL")
  * @annotate Layer("CONTROLLER may refer to MODEL | java.io.File")
  */
 package org.example;
