Annotation Type Immutable

public @interface Immutable

Immutables are objects whose state, if any, can not be mutated in any way. Such objects either have no attributes - stateless - or are Unmodifiable whose attributes are primitive or immutable. Examples of immutable objects are strings and Collections.emptyList().

* Classes annotated as Immutable indicate that all their instances have such property. Methods annotated as Immutable denote that all the objects returned by them have such property.

Immutables are inherently thread-safe.
