@Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(ANNOTATION_TYPE) public @interface DefaultQualifierInHierarchy

Indicates that the annotated qualifier is the default qualifier in the qualifier hierarchy: it applies if the programmer writes no explicit qualifier and no other default has been specified for the location.

Other defaults can be specified for a checker via the DefaultFor meta-annotation, which takes precedence over DefaultQualifierInHierarchy, or via

invalid reference

.

The DefaultQualifier annotation, which targets Java code elements, takes precedence over DefaultQualifierInHierarchy.
