/**
 * Marker of a public Jersey API that is still in "beta" non-final version.
 * 

* This annotation signals that the annotated public Jersey API (package, class, method or field) * has not been fully stabilized yet. As such, the API is subject to backward-incompatible changes * (or even removal) in a future Jersey release. Jersey development team does not make any guarantees * to retain backward compatibility of a {@code @Beta}-annotated Jersey API. *

*

* This annotation does not indicate inferior quality or performance of the API, just informs that the * API may still evolve in the future in a backward-incompatible ways. Jersey users may use beta APIs * in their applications keeping in mind potential cost of extra work associated with an upgrade * to a newer Jersey version. *

*

* Once a {@code @Beta}-annotated Jersey API reaches the desired maturity, the {@code @Beta} annotation * will be removed from such API and the API will become part of a stable public Jersey API. *
