package com.oracle.svm.core.annotate

This package contains annotations that configure the substitution mechanism of GraalVM Native Image. Annotated classes and methods modify the behavior of the class referenced by TargetClass. Important: this package is not part of the supported API. It exists, and is exported in the module descriptor, for compatibility reasons only.

22.3

Class	Description
Alias	Mechanism for referring to fields and methods otherwise inaccessible due to Java language access control rules.
AnnotateOriginal	This annotation allows to add additional annotations to existing methods but keep the implementation as it is.
AutomaticFeature	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Delete	Mechanism to ensures that an element is not used.
Inject	Injects the annotated field into the TargetClass.
InjectAccessors	Inject accessor methods for the field denoted using an Alias annotation.
KeepOriginal	If a class annotated with TargetClass is also annotated with Substitute, all non-substituted methods in that class are by default treated as deleted.
RecomputeFieldValue	Supported API is available to replace this non-API annotation: Use Feature.BeforeAnalysisAccess.registerFieldValueTransformer(java.lang.reflect.Field, org.graalvm.nativeimage.hosted.FieldValueTransformer).
RecomputeFieldValue.Kind
Substitute	When used to annotate a method, it indicates that a method declaration is intended to be a substitute for a method declaration in another class.
TargetClass	A class annotated with this annotation denotes a class that modifies methods of fields of another class, called the "original" class.
TargetClass.AlwaysIncluded	The default value for the TargetClass.onlyWith() attribute.
TargetClass.NoClassNameProvider	Marker value for TargetClass.classNameProvider() that no class name provider should be used.
TargetElement	Specifies additional properties for an element also annotated with Alias, Delete, Substitute, AnnotateOriginal, or KeepOriginal.
