Concept:
Java annotation
Headline
Language construct for metadata in Language:Java programs
Illustration
In Language:Java (and many other programming languages likewise), metadata can be associated with program constructs by means of designated language support. Such metadata goes by the name of annotations in Java. For instance, when a method should be tagged to be a "test method" for Technology:JUnit, then this would look as follows:
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
public class Tests {
@Test
public void test42() {
assertEquals(42.0, 42.0, 0.0);
}
}
Thus, "@Test" is the annotation which tells JUnit to execute the "test42" method along test execution. That is, "@Test" is metadata about the method "test42". JUnit is essentially a metaprogram that looks for such metadata.
