Interface SyntheticAttribute

All Superinterfaces:

Attribute<SyntheticAttribute>, ClassElement, ClassFileElement, FieldElement, MethodElement

public sealed interface SyntheticAttribute
extends Attribute<SyntheticAttribute>, ClassElement, MethodElement, FieldElement

Models the Synthetic attribute (JVMS ), which marks a class member as implementation-specific artifacts.

This attribute can appear on classes, methods, and fields, and permits multiple instances in a structure. It has no data dependency.

This attribute was introduced in the Java SE Platform version 1.1, major version 45.

API Note:

This attribute has been largely superseded by the ACC_SYNTHETIC modifier in newer class files. See
