Annotation Type ParametersAreNullableByDefault

  • @Documented
@Nullable
@TypeQualifierDefault(PARAMETER)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface ParametersAreNullableByDefault
    This annotation can be applied to a package, class or method to indicate that the method parameters in that element are nullable by default unless there is:
    • An explicit nullness annotation
    • The method overrides a method in a superclass (in which case the annotation of the corresponding parameter in the superclass applies)
    • There is a default parameter annotation applied to a more tightly nested element.

    This annotation implies the same "nullness" as no annotation. However, it is different than having no annotation, as it is inherited and it can override a ParametersAreNonnullByDefault annotation at an outer scope.
