+/**
+ * The interface for an annotation processor.
+ *
+ * <p>Annotation processing happens in a sequence of {@linkplain
+ * javax.annotation.processing.RoundEnvironment rounds}. On each
+ * round, a processor may be asked to {@linkplain #process process} a
+ * subset of the annotations found on the source and class files
+ * produced by a prior round. The inputs to the first round of
+ * processing are the initial inputs to a run of the tool; these
+ * initial inputs can be regarded as the output of a virtual zeroth
+ * round of processing. If a processor was asked to process on a
+ * given round, it will be asked to process on subsequent rounds,
+ * including the last round, even if there are no annotations for it
+ * to process. The tool infrastructure may also ask a processor to
+ * process files generated implicitly by the tool's operation.
+ *
+ * <p> Each implementation of a {@code Processor} must provide a
+ * public no-argument constructor to be used by tools to instantiate
+ * the processor. The tool infrastructure will interact with classes
+ * implementing this interface as follows:
+ *
+ * <ol>
+ *
+ * <li>If an existing {@code Processor} object is not being used, to
+ * create an instance of a processor the tool calls the no-arg
+ * constructor of the processor class.
+ *
+ * <li>Next, the tool calls the {@link #init init} method with
+ * an appropriate {@code ProcessingEnvironment}.
+ *
+ * <li>Afterwards, the tool calls {@link #getSupportedAnnotationTypes
+ * getSupportedAnnotationTypes}, {@link #getSupportedOptions
+ * getSupportedOptions}, and {@link #getSupportedSourceVersion
+ * getSupportedSourceVersion}. These methods are only called once per
+ * run, not on each round.
+ *
+ * <li>As appropriate, the tool calls the {@link #process process}
+ * method on the {@code Processor} object; a new {@code Processor}
+ * object is <em>not</em> created for each round.
+ *
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * If a processor object is created and used without the above
+ * protocol being followed, then the processor's behavior is not
+ * defined by this interface specification.
+ *
+ * <p> The tool uses a <i>discovery process</i> to find annotation
+ * processors and decide whether or not they should be run. By
+ * configuring the tool, the set of potential processors can be
+ * controlled. For example, for a {@link javax.tools.JavaCompiler
+ * JavaCompiler} the list of candidate processors to run can be
+ * {@linkplain javax.tools.JavaCompiler.CompilationTask#setProcessors
+ * set directly} or controlled by a {@linkplain
+ * javax.tools.StandardLocation#ANNOTATION_PROCESSOR_PATH search path}
+ * used for a {@linkplain java.util.ServiceLoader service-style}
+ * lookup. Other tool implementations may have different
+ * configuration mechanisms, such as command line options; for
+ * details, refer to the particular tool's documentation. Which
+ * processors the tool asks to {@linkplain #process run} is a function
+ * of what annotations are present on the {@linkplain
+ * RoundEnvironment#getRootElements root elements}, what {@linkplain
+ * #getSupportedAnnotationTypes annotation types a processor
+ * processes}, and whether or not a processor {@linkplain #process
+ * claims the annotations it processes}. A processor will be asked to
+ * process a subset of the annotation types it supports, possibly an
+ * empty set.
+ *
+ * For a given round, the tool computes the set of annotation types on
+ * the root elements. If there is at least one annotation type
+ * present, as processors claim annotation types, they are removed
+ * from the set of unmatched annotations. When the set is empty or no
+ * more processors are available, the round has run to completion. If
+ * there are no annotation types present, annotation processing still
+ * occurs but only <i>universal processors</i> which support
+ * processing {@code "*"} can claim the (empty) set of annotation
+ * types.
+ *
+ * <p>Note that if a processor supports {@code "*"} and returns {@code
+ * true}, all annotations are claimed. Therefore, a universal
+ * processor being used to, for example, implement additional validity
+ * checks should return {@code false} so as to not prevent other such
+ * checkers from being able to run.
+ *
+ * <p>If a processor throws an uncaught exception, the tool may cease
+ * other active annotation processors. If a processor raises an
+ * error, the current round will run to completion and the subsequent
+ * round will indicate an {@linkplain RoundEnvironment#errorRaised
+ * error was raised}. Since annotation processors are run in a
+ * cooperative environment, a processor should throw an uncaught
+ * exception only in situations where no error recovery or reporting
+ * is feasible.
+ *
+ * <p>The tool environment is not required to support annotation
+ * processors that access environmental resources, either {@linkplain
+ * RoundEnvironment per round} or {@linkplain ProcessingEnvironment
+ * cross-round}, in a multi-threaded fashion.
+ *
+ * <p>If the methods that return configuration information about the
+ * annotation processor return {@code null}, return other invalid
+ * input, or throw an exception, the tool infrastructure must treat
+ * this as an error condition.
+ *
+ * <p>To be robust when running in different tool implementations, an
+ * annotation processor should have the following properties:
+ *
+ * <ol>
+ *
+ * <li>The result of processing a given input is not a function of the presence or absence
+ * of other inputs (orthogonality).
+ *
+ * <li>Processing the same input produces the same output (consistency).
+ *
+ * <li>Processing input <i>A</i> followed by processing input <i>B</i>
+ * is equivalent to processing <i>B</i> then <i>A</i>
+ * (commutativity)
+ *
+ * <li>Processing an input does not rely on the presence of the output
+ * of other annotation processors (independence)
+ *
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * <p>The {@link Filer} interface discusses restrictions on how
+ * processors can operate on files.
+ *
+ * <p>Note that implementors of this interface may find it convenient
+ * to extend {@link AbstractProcessor} rather than implementing this
+ * interface directly.

+ * example an {@code int} member whose value should lie between 1
+ * and 10 or a string member that should be recognized by a known
+ * grammar, such as a regular expression or a URL.
+ *
+ * <p>Since incomplete programs are being modeled, some of the

+ * completions to offer based on the provided information, an
+ * empty iterable can be returned. The processor may also return
+ * a single completion with an empty value string and a message
+ * describing why there are no completions.
+ *
+ * <p>Completions are informative and may reflect additional
+ * validity checks performed by annotation processors. For
+ * example, consider the simple annotation:
+ *
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <pre>
+ * @MersennePrime {
+ * int value();
+ * }
+ * </pre>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * (A Mersenne prime is prime number of the form
+ * 2<sup><i>n</i></sup> - 1.) Given an {@code AnnotationMirror}
+ * for this annotation type, a list of all such primes in the
+ * {@code int} range could be returned without examining any other
+ * arguments to {@code getCompletions}:
+ *
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <pre>
+ * import static javax.annotation.processing.Completions.*;
+ * ...
+ * return Arrays.asList({@link Completions#of(String) of}("3"),
+ * of("7"),
+ * of("31"),

+ * of("8191"),
+ * of("131071"),
+ * of("524287"),
+ * of("2147483647"));
+ * </pre>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * A more informative set of completions would include the number
+ * of each prime:
+ *
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <pre>
+ * return Arrays.asList({@link Completions#of(String, String) of}("3", "M2"),
+ * of("7", "M3"),
+ * of("31", "M5"),
+ * of("127", "M7"),
+ * of("8191", "M13"),
+ * of("131071", "M17"),
+ * of("524287", "M19"),
+ * of("2147483647", "M31"));
+ * </pre>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * However, if the {@code userText} is available, it can be checked
+ * to see if only a subset of the Mersenne primes are valid. For
+ * example, if the user has typed
+ *
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <code>
+ * @MersennePrime(1
+ * </code>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * the value of {@code userText} will be {@code "1"}; and only
+ * two of the primes are possible completions:
+ *
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <pre>
+ * return Arrays.asList(of("127", "M7"),
+ * of("131071", "M17"));
+ * </pre>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * Sometimes no valid completion is possible. For example, there
+ * is no in-range Mersenne prime starting with 9:
+ *
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <code>
+ * @MersennePrime(9
+ * </code>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * An appropriate response in this case is to either return an
+ * empty list of completions,
+ *
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <pre>
+ * return Collections.emptyList();
+ * </pre>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * or a single empty completion with a helpful message
+ *
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <pre>
+ * return Arrays.asList(of("", "No in-range Mersenne primes start with 9"));
+ * </pre>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
