Annotation Type Implementable

@Retention(value=SOURCE)
@Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface Implementable

Designates those classes and interfaces which an implementation of the API can extend. The contract of this annotation is as follows:

• Interfaces annotated with Implementable
  • The methods in the interface are fixed. No existing methods can be removed. No new methods can be added. If new methods are required, then a new interface extending the interface must be added and that interface can provide the new methods.
  • Constants can be added but cannot be removed.
• Classes annotated with Implementable
  • Any abstract methods in the class are fixed. No existing methods can be removed. No new abstract methods can be added. Abstract methods cannot be changed to non-abstract.
  • Non-abstract methods can be added. Non-abstract methods cannot be removed.
  • Constants can be added but cannot be removed.
