+/**
+ * <p>This interface supports the creation of new files by the
+ * annotation processor. Creating files via this interface means
+ * that they can be tracked by the annotation processing tool.
+ * Once the file streams are closed, the tool will automatically
+ * consider them for processing.</p>
+ * <p>Files are separated into three types: source files, class
+ * files and resource files. Two locations are defined; one
+ * for source files and one for class files (resource files
+ * may use either). Locations are specified using a relative
+ * path separated by {@code '/'} and not including the
+ * segments {@code '.'} and {@code '..'} so that they may only
+ * refer to subdirectories. A valid relative name must match
+ * the "path-rootless" rule of RFC 3986, section 3.3.</p>
+ * <p>The file creation methods take a variable number of
+ * originating elements, which can be used by the tool to
+ * handle dependency management. For example, if a
+ * file is generated due to the presence of a particular
+ * method, the element representing that method may be
+ * specified as an originating element. Whether this
+ * information is used by the tool or not is left down
+ * to the implementator.</p>
+ * <p>Each run of the annotation processing tool may only
+ * create a file with a given pathname once. Attempts
+ * to create the same file a second time will result in
+ * a {@link FilerException}. The same behaviour results
+ * from trying to overwrite the initial source files, which
+ * are classed as being created in the zeroth round of
+ * processing. The same exception will be thrown if
+ * the same name is used for both a source file and a
+ * class file.</p>
+ * <p>Processors must not knowingly attempt to overwrite
+ * files that weren't generated by themselves or a similar
+ * tool. Similarly, the user invoking the tool should
+ * not configure it so that it will end up overwriting
+ * files that weren't generated. A {@code Filer}
+ * implementation may include safeguards so as not to
+ * overwrite class files such as {@code java.lang.Object}.</p>
+ * <p>The {@link javax.lang.annotation.Generated}
+ * annotation is available to denote generated files
+ * if needed. Some of the effect of overwriting files may
+ * be achieved by using a decorator-style design
+ * pattern and either a generated superclass or a series
+ * of generated subclasses. In the latter case,
+ * the class would provide the appropriate generated
+ * subclass via the factory pattern.</p>

+/**
+ * <p>Provides the interface for an annotation processor.</p>
+ * <p>Annotation processing is divided into a series of rounds,
+ * with the input for each round being a subset of the output
+ * from the previous round. The input for the initial round
+ * are those provided to the tool by the user, but, for the
+ * purposes of operation, can be thought of as coming from a
+ * virtual preceding round, as the behaviour is the same.
+ * Once a processor is asked to process inputs in a particular
+ * round, it is asked to do so in all subsequent rounds, even
+ * if there are no annotations left for it to process. These
+ * inputs can include files generated by the tool's operation.</p>
+ * <p>Annotation processors are found using a tool-specific
+ * discovery method which may involve them being named directly
+ * or discovered via a service-based lookup. The processors which
+ * are actually used are determined by which of the annotations present
+ * on the root elements are supported by the processor and whether or
+ * not it claims them. Claimed annotation types are removed from
+ * the set of unmatched annotations and are not passed to other
+ * processors. A round is complete once the set is empty or no
+ * more processors are available. If there are no annotation types
+ * on the root elements (i.e. the set is empty to begin with), then
+ * only <emph>universal processors</emph> (those which accept {@code "*"})
+ * are run.</p>
+ * <h2>Implementing an Annotation Processor</h2>
+ * <p>The tool infrastructure expects the following from an annotation
+ * processor:</p>
+ * <ol>
+ * <li>It should be able to create an instance of the processor using
+ * a no-argument constructor and use this same instance for the whole run.</li>
+ * <li>Once it has created the instance, it calls {@code init} with
+ * an appropriate {@link ProcessingEnvironment}.</li>
+ * <li>The tool calls {@link #getSupportedAnnotationTypes},
+ * {@link #getSupportedOptions} and {@link #getSupportedSourceVersion} once
+ * at the start of each run.</li>
+ * <li>The tool calls {@link #process} on the processor for each round.</li>
+ * </ol>
+ * <p>Use outside the above protocol is undefined. A processor supporting
+ * {@code "*"} and returning {@code true} from the {@code process} method
+ * will claim all annotations and prevent other processors from running.
+ * If this is not the intention, then {@code false} should be returned.</p>
+ * <p>To work well with different tool implementations, the processor
+ * should make sure the following properties hold:</p>
+ * <ol>
+ * <li><strong>Orthogonality</strong>: The result of processing an input
+ * is not dependent on the presence or not of other inputs.</li>
+ * <li><strong>Consistency</strong>: Processing the same input should
+ * always produce the same output.</li>
+ * <li><strong>Commutativity</strong>: Processing input A then input B
+ * should be the same as processing input B then input A.</li>
+ * <li><strong>Independence</strong>: The result of processing an input
+ * is not dependent on the presence of output from other processors.</li>
+ * </ol>
+ * <p>If a processor raises an error, this will be noted and the round
+ * completed. The subsequent round can then query as to whether an

+ * annotation processors, so this should be used only in situations where
+ * the usual error recovery process is infeasible.</p>
+ * <p>The tool environment need not support annotation processors accessing

+ * environment. If a method returns {@code null} or other invalid input, or throws
+ * an exception, in response to a configuration query, the tool may treat this
+ * as an error condition.</p>

+ * files are handled and the restrictions in place. Implementators may find it
+ * easier to base their implementation on the {@link AbstractProcessor} class
+ * rather than implementing this interface directly.</p>
