-/**
- * 
- * This annotation is applied to a annotation, and marks the annotation as being
- * a qualifier nickname. Applying a nickname annotation X to a element Y should
- * be interpreted as having the same meaning as applying all of annotations of X
- * (other than QualifierNickname) to Y.
- * 
- * <p>
- * Thus, you might define a qualifier SocialSecurityNumber as follows:
- * </p>
- * 
- * 
- * <code>
- @Documented
- @TypeQualifierNickname @Pattern("[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}") 
- @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
- public @interface SocialSecurityNumber {
- }
- </code>
