java.lang.annotation.ElementType.
 If an @Target meta-annotation is not present on an annotation
 interface T, then an annotation of type T may be written as
 a modifier for any declaration.
 
If an @Target meta-annotation is present, the compiler will enforce
 the usage restrictions indicated by ElementType
 enum constants, in line with JLS 9.7.4.
 
For example, this @Target meta-annotation indicates that the
 declared interface is itself a meta-annotation interface.  It can only be
 used on annotation interface declarations:
 
    @Target(ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE)
    public @interface MetaAnnotationType {
        ...
    }
 
 This @Target meta-annotation indicates that the declared class or
 interface is intended solely for use as a member class or interface in
 complex annotation interface declarations.  It cannot be used to annotate
 anything directly:
 
    @Target({})
    public @interface MemberInterface {
        ...
    }
 
 It is a compile-time error for a single ElementType constant to
 appear more than once in an @Target annotation.  For example, the
 following @Target meta-annotation is illegal:
 
    @Target({ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD})
    public @interface Bogus {
        ...
    }
