Interface ModuleResolutionAttribute

All Superinterfaces:
Attribute<ModuleResolutionAttribute>, ClassElement, ClassFileElement
public sealed interface ModuleResolutionAttribute extends Attribute<ModuleResolutionAttribute>, ClassElement
Models the ModuleResolution attribute, which can appear on classes that represent module descriptors, to capture resolution metadata for modules.

The specification of the ModuleResolution attribute is: 

 ModuleResolution_attribute {
   u2 attribute_name_index;    // "ModuleResolution"
   u4 attribute_length;        // 2
   u2 resolution_flags;

 The value of the resolution_flags item is a mask of flags used to denote
 properties of module resolution. The flags are as follows:

  // Optional
  0x0001 (DO_NOT_RESOLVE_BY_DEFAULT)

  // At most one of:
  0x0002 (WARN_DEPRECATED)
  0x0004 (WARN_DEPRECATED_FOR_REMOVAL)
  0x0008 (WARN_INCUBATING)
 }

This attribute only appears on classes, and does not permit multiple instances in a class. It has no data dependency.

This attribute is not predefined in the Java SE Platform. This is a JDK-specific nonstandard attribute produced by the jdk.jlink module, which defines the jlink and jmod tools.
