Annotation Type UsedViaReflection

@Documented
 @Retention(value=CLASS)
 @Target(value={METHOD,FIELD,CONSTRUCTOR,TYPE})
public @interface UsedViaReflection

@UsedViaReflection notes that an element is accessed through reflection or tests. It warns library maintainers against removing or hiding the member.

Retention and effect: Retained in the class file and ignored at runtime unless tooling looks for it.

  @UsedViaReflection
 public void setAccessible() { }
 

Typical sources include YAML deserialisation, JMH harnesses and Spring tests. Annotate the member with @SuppressWarnings("unused") to silence compiler and IDE warnings.

 -keep class ** { @UsedViaReflection *; }
