@Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(ANNOTATION_TYPE) annotation

A meta-annotation of this type specifies what program elements the annotated annotation type can be applied to. The value( ) of a Target annotation is an array of ElementType enumerated constants. See ElementType for details on the allowed values. If an annotation type does not have an @Target meta-annotation, it can be applied to any program element.
