Annotation Type ReturnValuesAreNonnullByDefault

@Documented

@TypeQualifierDefault(METHOD)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface ReturnValuesAreNonnullByDefault

This annotation can be applied to a package, class or method to indicate that the methods in that element have nonnull return values by default unless there is:

• An explicit nullness annotation
• The method overrides a method in a superclass (in which case the annotation of the corresponding parameter in the superclass applies)
• there is a default annotation applied to a more tightly nested element.
