/**
* The interface for an annotation processor.
*
* <p>Annotation processing happens in a sequence of {@linkplain
* javax.annotation.processing.RoundEnvironment rounds}. On each
* round, a processor may be asked to {@linkplain #process process} a
* subset of the annotations found on the source and class files
* produced by a prior round. The inputs to the first round of
* processing are the initial inputs to a run of the tool; these
* initial inputs can be regarded as the output of a virtual zeroth
* round of processing. If a processor was asked to process on a
* given round, it will be asked to process on subsequent rounds,
* including the last round, even if there are no annotations for it
* to process. The tool infrastructure may also ask a processor to
* process files generated implicitly by the tool's operation.
*
* <p> Each implementation of a {@code Processor} must provide a
* public no-argument constructor to be used by tools to instantiate
* the processor. The tool infrastructure will interact with classes
* implementing this interface as follows:
*
* <ol>
*
* <li>If an existing {@code Processor} object is not being used, to
* create an instance of a processor the tool calls the no-arg
* constructor of the processor class.
*
* <li>Next, the tool calls the {@link #init init} method with
* an appropriate {@link ProcessingEnvironment}.
*
* <li>Afterwards, the tool calls {@link #getSupportedAnnotationTypes
* getSupportedAnnotationTypes}, {@link #getSupportedOptions
* getSupportedOptions}, and {@link #getSupportedSourceVersion
* getSupportedSourceVersion}. These methods are only called once per
* run, not on each round.
*
* <li>As appropriate, the tool calls the {@link #process process}
* method on the {@code Processor} object; a new {@code Processor}
* object is <em>not</em> created for each round.
*
* </ol>
*
* If a processor object is created and used without the above
* protocol being followed, then the processor's behavior is not
* defined by this interface specification.
*
* <p> The tool uses a <i>discovery process</i> to find annotation
* processors and decide whether or not they should be run. By
* configuring the tool, the set of potential processors can be
* controlled. For example, for a {@link javax.tools.JavaCompiler
* JavaCompiler} the list of candidate processors to run can be
* {@linkplain javax.tools.JavaCompiler.CompilationTask#setProcessors
* set directly} or controlled by a {@linkplain
* javax.tools.StandardLocation#ANNOTATION_PROCESSOR_PATH search path}
* used for a {@linkplain java.util.ServiceLoader service-style}
* lookup. Other tool implementations may have different
* configuration mechanisms, such as command line options; for
* details, refer to the particular tool's documentation. Which
* processors the tool asks to {@linkplain #process run} is a function
* of the types of the annotations <em>{@linkplain AnnotatedConstruct present}</em>
* on the {@linkplain
* RoundEnvironment#getRootElements root elements}, what {@linkplain
* #getSupportedAnnotationTypes annotation types a processor
* supports}, and whether or not a processor {@linkplain #process
* claims the annotation types it processes}. A processor will be asked to
* process a subset of the annotation types it supports, possibly an
* empty set.
*
* For a given round, the tool computes the set of annotation types
* that are present on the elements enclosed within the root elements.
* If there is at least one annotation type present, then as
* processors claim annotation types, they are removed from the set of
* unmatched annotation types. When the set is empty or no more
* processors are available, the round has run to completion. If
* there are no annotation types present, annotation processing still
* occurs but only <i>universal processors</i> which support
* processing all annotation types, {@code "*"}, can claim the (empty)
* set of annotation types.
*
* <p>An annotation type is considered present if there is at least
* one annotation of that type present on an element enclosed within
* the root elements of a round. For this purpose, a type parameter is
* considered to be enclosed by its {@linkplain
* TypeParameterElement#getGenericElement generic
* element}.
* For this purpose, a package element is <em>not</em> considered to
* enclose the top-level types within that package. (A root element
* representing a package is created when a {@code package-info} file
* is processed.) Likewise, for this purpose, a module element is
* <em>not</em> considered to enclose the packages within that
* module. (A root element representing a module is created when a
* {@code module-info} file is processed.)
*
* Annotations on {@linkplain
* java.lang.annotation.ElementType#TYPE_USE type uses}, as opposed to
* annotations on elements, are ignored when computing whether or not
* an annotation type is present.
*
* <p>An annotation is <em>present</em> if it meets the definition of being
* present given in {@link AnnotatedConstruct}. In brief, an
* annotation is considered present for the purposes of discovery if
* it is directly present or present via inheritance. An annotation is
* <em>not</em> considered present by virtue of being wrapped by a
* container annotation. Operationally, this is equivalent to an
* annotation being present on an element if and only if it would be
* included in the results of {@link
* Elements#getAllAnnotationMirrors(Element)} called on that element. Since
* annotations inside container annotations are not considered
* present, to properly process {@linkplain
* java.lang.annotation.Repeatable repeatable annotation types},
* processors are advised to include both the repeatable annotation
* type and its containing annotation type in the set of {@linkplain
* #getSupportedAnnotationTypes() supported annotation types} of a
* processor.
*
* <p>Note that if a processor supports {@code "*"} and returns {@code
* true}, all annotations are claimed. Therefore, a universal
* processor being used to, for example, implement additional validity
* checks should return {@code false} so as to not prevent other such
* checkers from being able to run.
*
* <p>If a processor throws an uncaught exception, the tool may cease
* other active annotation processors. If a processor raises an
* error, the current round will run to completion and the subsequent
* round will indicate an {@linkplain RoundEnvironment#errorRaised
* error was raised}. Since annotation processors are run in a
* cooperative environment, a processor should throw an uncaught
* exception only in situations where no error recovery or reporting
* is feasible.
*
* <p>The tool environment is not required to support annotation
* processors that access environmental resources, either {@linkplain
* RoundEnvironment per round} or {@linkplain ProcessingEnvironment
* cross-round}, in a multi-threaded fashion.
*
* <p>If the methods that return configuration information about the
* annotation processor return {@code null}, return other invalid
* input, or throw an exception, the tool infrastructure must treat
* this as an error condition.
*
* <p>To be robust when running in different tool implementations, an
* annotation processor should have the following properties:
*
* <ol>
*
* <li>The result of processing a given input is not a function of the presence or absence
* of other inputs (orthogonality).
*
* <li>Processing the same input produces the same output (consistency).
*
* <li>Processing input <i>A</i> followed by processing input <i>B</i>
* is equivalent to processing <i>B</i> then <i>A</i>
* (commutativity)
*
* <li>Processing an input does not rely on the presence of the output
* of other annotation processors (independence)
*
* </ol>
*
* <p>The {@link Filer} interface discusses restrictions on how
* processors can operate on files.
*
* @apiNote Implementors of this interface may find it convenient
* to extend {@link AbstractProcessor} rather than implementing this
* interface directly.

*
* In either of those cases, the name of the annotation type can
