Annotation Interface FieldDeclaration

@Target(METHOD) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface FieldDeclaration

Marks a method as a field declaration. New field's name becomes this annotation's name() parameter or the annotated method's name if the name() is empty.

The annotated method must be non-void and have a single argument. The argument's type denotes the fact type that we want to declare a new field on. The method's return type becomes the field's type.

The annotated method can use both instance and static class members to compute field value.
