/**
 * This annotation marks a field, parameter, local variable, or method (return
 * value) as potentially having the value {@code null}. The specific semantics
 * implied by this annotation depend on the kind of element the annotation is
 * applied to.
 *
 * 

 * 
Field or Local Variable: Code reading the field or local
 * variable may not assume that the value is never {@code null}.
 * 
Parameter: Code calling the method might pass
 * {@code null} for this parameter. The documentation for the method should
 * describe the behavior of the method in the event this parameter is
 * {@code null}.
 * 
 * 
Method (Return Value): Code calling the method may not
 * assume that the result of the method is never {@code null}. The documentation
 * for the method should describe the meaning of a {@code null} reference being
 * returned. Overriding methods may optionally use the {@link NotNull}
 * annotation instead of this annotation for the method, indicating that the
 * overriding method (and any method which overrides it) will never return a
 * {@code null} reference.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * The {@link NullUsageProcessor} annotation processor validates certain usage
 * scenarios for this annotation, with compile-time errors or warnings reported
 * for misuse. For detailed information about the supported analysis, see the
 * documentation for {@link NullUsageProcessor}.
