Annotation Type Subst


  • @Retention(CLASS)
    @Target({METHOD,FIELD,LOCAL_VARIABLE,PARAMETER})
    public @interface Subst
    Specifies the replacement value for non-constant variables and method return values. This may help static analyzers to properly parse the concatenation of several values which is used in @Language or Pattern context.

    Example:

     @Subst("Tahoma")
     final String font = new JLabel().getFont().getName();
    
     @Language("HTML")
     String message = "<html><span style='font: " + font + "; font-size:smaller'>"
       + ... + "</span></html>";
     

    Here the parser assumes that when font appears in the concatenation its value is "Tahoma", so it can continue parsing the concatenation.
