Annotation Type Java9

@Retention(value=SOURCE)
 @Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface Java9

@Java9 marks a method that is only used when running on Java 9 or later. It is primarily for tooling authors and library maintainers. IDEs may safely delete imports that appear unused when this annotation is present.

Retention and effect: Present only in the source and discarded by the compiler. It has no runtime effect unless recognised by build tooling.

@Java9 void newApiCall();

Use Jvm.isJava9Plus() to guard such calls at runtime.
