Annotation Type VersionConstraint

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface VersionConstraint

Indicates the version constraint of an import in a module definition. The version constraint is either a version, a version range, or a combination of both, following the format described in the VersionConstraint class. This metadata annotation is applied to the import of the development module, i.e. the superpackage construct.

For examples,

    superpackage com.wombat.xyz {
       @VersionConstraint("1.0+")
       import org.foo.library; 
       ...
    }

    superpackage com.wombat.xyz {
       @VersionConstraint("1.2.*")
       import org.foo.library; 
       ...
    }

    superpackage com.wombat.xyz {
       @VersionConstraint("[1.2.0, 2.0.0)")
       import org.foo.library; 
       ...
    }
