        For example, if the setting descriptor's represents a percentage the "jdk.jfr.Percentage" hints to a client that a value of "0.5" should be formatted as "50 %".

        The JDK comes with the following predefined content types,

        • jdk.jfr.Percentage
        • jdk.jfr.Timespan
        • jdk.jfr.Timestamp
        • jdk.jfr.Frequency
        • jdk.jfr.Flag
        • jdk.jfr.MemoryAddress
        • jdk.jfr.MemoryAmount
        • jdk.jfr.NetworkAddress

        User defined content types can be created using ContentType. *
