Annotation Type ExtendibleEnumerationItem

@Documented
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=FIELD)
public @interface ExtendibleEnumerationItem

Labels an AUID that represents an element of an extendible enumeration. These annotations are used by the extendible enumeration factory to create and dynamically manage extendible enumerations at runtime.

Using this annotation, it is possible for any AUID to become an element of an existing of new extendible enumeration at runtime. As long as the AUID is in the current classpath, a set of elements ExtendibleEnumerationWarehouse.addItemsFromClass(Class). A labelled constant for an enumeration can be added to an extendible enumeration by calling looks like:

     @ExtendibleEnumerationItem(target = "ColorPrimaries")
     public final static AUID SMPTE170M = new tv.amwa.maj.embeddable.AUID(
             0x04010101, (short) 0x0301, (short) 0x0000,
             new byte[] { 0x06, 0x0e, 0x2b, 0x34, 0x04, 0x01, 0x01, 0x06 });
 

Note that the new elements are registered within the local Java virtual machine only.
