Annotation Type StableApi

@Target(value={TYPE,METHOD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface StableApi

This annotation is used to denote a class or method as part of the set of stable, unchanging elements.

When a class or method is so designated it will not change within a minor release, i.e. 1.1 -> 1.2, in a way that would make it no longer backwardly compatible with an earlier version within the release.

Classes or methods with the annotation may still change in major releases, i.e. 1.x -> 2.0.
