Annotation Type NoInstantiate

@Documented
 @Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface NoInstantiate

Indicates that a class must not be instantiated by clients.

As a class annotated with NoInstantiate must not be instantiated, the constructors parts of this class definition will not be considered part of the API, so they can change without considering those changes as backwards incompatible. Note that classes annotated with NoInstantiate will imply also the same constraints defined by NoExtend

WARNING: Ignoring the presence of this annotation can cause compile or runtime problems when a new version is available
