9  * Classes and hierarchies of packages used to model the Java
10  * programming language.
11  *
12  * The members of this package and its subpackages are for use in
13  * language modeling and language processing tasks and APIs including,
14  * but not limited to, the {@linkplain javax.annotation.processing
15  * annotation processing} framework.
16  *
17  * <p> This language model follows a <i>mirror</i>-based design; see
18  *
19  * <blockquote>
20  * Gilad Bracha and David Ungar. <i>Mirrors: Design Principles for
21  * Meta-level Facilities of Object-Oriented Programming Languages</i>.
22  * In Proc. of the ACM Conf. on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems,
23  * Languages and Applications, October 2004.
24  * </blockquote>
25  *
26  * In particular, the model makes a distinction between static
27  * language constructs, like the {@linkplain javax.lang.model.element
28  * element} representing {@code java.util.Set}, and the family of
29  * {@linkplain javax.lang.model.type types} that may be associated
30  * with an element, like the raw type {@code java.util.Set}, {@code
31  * java.util.Set<String>}, and {@code java.util.Set<T>}.
32  *
33  * <p> Unless otherwise specified, methods in this package will throw
34  * a {@code NullPointerException} if given a {@code null} argument.
