Annotation Type Option

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({FIELD,TYPE})
@Repeatable(Options.class)
public @interface Option
The Option annotation is used to set general information to the annotated component. There are only a few attributes this annotation provides.

TIP: This annotation is Repeatable, so there can be multiple definition on each component. Duplicate attributes will be overridden.

Changes since 1.1.0: Dynamic method invocation to retrieve values for each attribute can now be used. You can simply query the UIManager for a property.

Since:
1.0
