Annotation Type Field

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=FIELD)
public @interface Field

Field annotation. Used for flagging SCIFIO component fields and differentiating Metadata source fields from Java fields.

The label() method allows preservation of the original field name, without being restricted to the Java variable naming conventions.
