/**
 * Signifies that a public API (public class, method or field) is subject to incompatible changes,
 * or even removal, in a future release. An API bearing this annotation is exempt from any
 * compatibility guarantees made by its containing library. Note that the presence of this
 * annotation implies nothing about the quality or performance of the API in question, only the fact
 * that it is not "API-frozen."

It is generally safe for applications to depend on beta APIs, at the cost of some extra * work during upgrades. However it is generally inadvisable for libraries (which get * included on users' CLASSPATHs, outside the library developers' control) to do so. * * @author Kevin Bourrillion */ @Retention(RetentionPolicy.CLASS) @Target({ ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE, ElementType.CONSTRUCTOR, ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE }) @Documented @GwtCompatible public @interface Beta {}
