+/**
+ * Annotation that specifies that an element is experimental and may change
+ * without notice.
+ * <p>
+ * Clients that visualize Flight Recorder events should <em>not</em> show the
+ * events or fields annotated with the {@code Experimental} annotation by
+ * default. This annotation allows event producers the freedom to try out new
+ * events without committing to them.
+ * <p>
+ * Clients may provide a check box (for example, in a preference page) where a
+ * user can opt-in to display experimental data. If the user decide to do so,
+ * the user interface should mark experimental events or fields so users can
+ * distinguish them from non-experimental events.
+ * <p>
+ * This annotation is inherited.
