@Documented @Retention(value=RUNTIME) @Target(value=FIELD) public @interface ExtendibleEnumerationItem
Labels an AUID that represents an element of an extendible enumeration. These annotations are used by the warehouse to manage a dynamic inventory of extendible enumerations at runtime.
Using this annotation, it is possible for any AUID to become an element of an existing of new
extendible enumeration at runtime. As long as the AUID is in the current classpath, add a set of elements
from a class with Warehouse.registerExtendibleEnumerationElements(Class). The
element value should be annotated as shown for the color primaries element shown below:
@ExtendibleEnumerationItem(target = "ColorPrimaries")
public final static AUID SMPTE170M = Forge.makeAUID(
0x04010101, (short) 0x0301, (short) 0x0000,
new byte[] { 0x06, 0x0e, 0x2b, 0x34, 0x04, 0x01, 0x01, 0x06 });
Note that the new elements are registered within the local Java virtual machine only.
public abstract String target
Name of the extendible enumeration that this labelled constant is an element for. When used to create an element of an extendible enumeration, the name of the labelled AUID constant is used as the name of the element.
