+/**
+ <p>An annotation on a constructor that shows how the parameters of
+ that constructor correspond to the constructed object's getter
+ methods. For example:
+
+ <blockquote>
+<pre>
+ public class Point {
+ @ConstructorProperties({"x", "y"})
+ public Point(int x, int y) {
+ this.x = x;
+ this.y = y;
+ }
+
+ public int getX() {
+ return x;
+ }
+
+ public int getY() {
+ return y;
+ }
+
+ private final int x, y;
+ }
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+ The annotation shows that the first parameter of the constructor
+ can be retrieved with the {@code getX()} method and the second with
+ the {@code getY()} method. Since parameter names are not in
+ general available at runtime, without the annotation there would be
+ no way to know whether the parameters correspond to {@code getX()}
+ and {@code getY()} or the other way around.
