Annotation Type Executor

@Inherited
@Documented
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={CONSTRUCTOR,METHOD})
public @interface Executor

A method or constructor annotated with the executor annotation indicates that it will be executed reflectively by a given context.

Implementation notes:
The executor annotation can annotate any constructor or method. The context using the annotated members must supply the logic to support the parameter types.

The annotation is inherited! This means that if defined in a super-class, a sub-class overriding the annotated member can be used as an observer if an instance of the sub-class is used. Inheritance is only on from super-class to sub-class, not for implemented interfaces.
