<P>
This annotation can be applied to the value() element of an annotation that
is annotated as a TypeQualifier. This is only appropriate if the value field
returns a value that is an Enumeration.
Applications of the type qualifier with different values are exclusive, and
the enumeration is an exhaustive list of the possible values.
<<<<<<< .mine
For example, the following defines a type qualifier such that if you know
a value is neither &amp;#064;Foo(Color.Red) or &amp;#064;Foo(Color.Blue), then the value must be
&amp;#064;Foo(Color.Green). And if you know it is &amp;#064;Foo(Color.Green), you know it cannot
be &amp;#064;Foo(Color.Red) or &amp;#064;Foo(Color.Blue)
=======
For example, the following defines a type qualifier such that if you know a
value is neither @Foo(Color.Red) or @Foo(Color.Blue),
then the value must be @Foo(Color.Green). And if you know it is
@Foo(Color.Green), you know it cannot be
@Foo(Color.Red) or @Foo(Color.Blue)

<code>
&#064;TypeQualifier @interface Foo {
enum Color {RED, BLUE, GREEN};
&#064;Exhaustive Color value();
}
