Annotation Type StaticResource

@Target(value=FIELD)
@Retention(value=SOURCE)
@Documented
public @interface StaticResource

Marker for a constant representing a static resource. The annotated field must be a compile-time String constant whose value denotes a resource path. For example, the resource might be an icon path intended for ImageUtilities.loadImage. The primary purpose of the annotation is for its processor, which will signal a compile-time error if the resource does not in fact exist - ensuring that at least this usage will not be accidentally broken by moving, renaming, or deleting the resource.

1.13
