/**

|
* The annotated element could be null under some circumstances.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* In general, this means developers will have to read the documentation to
|
|
* determine when a null value is acceptable and whether it is necessary to
|
|
* check for a null value.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* This annotation is useful mostly for overriding a {@link Nonnull} annotation.
|
|
* Static analysis tools should generally treat the annotated items as though
|
|
* they had no annotation, unless they are configured to minimize false
|
|
* negatives. Use {@link CheckForNull} to indicate that the element value should
|
|
* always be checked for a null value.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* When this annotation is applied to a method it applies to the method return
|
|
* value.
