  37  * A skeletal visitor for annotation values with default behavior
  38  * appropriate for the {@link SourceVersion#RELEASE_8 RELEASE_8}
  39  * source version.
  40  *
  41  * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> The {@code AnnotationValueVisitor} interface
  42  * implemented by this class may have methods added to it in the
  43  * future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures
  44  * added to future versions of the Java&trade; programming language.
  45  * Therefore, methods whose names begin with {@code "visit"} may be
  46  * added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities,
  47  * classes which extend this class should not declare any instance
  48  * methods with names beginning with {@code "visit"}.
  49  *
  50  * <p>When such a new visit method is added, the default
  51  * implementation in this class will be to call the {@link
  52  * #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method.  A new abstract annotation
  53  * value visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the
  54  * new language level; this visitor will have different default
  55  * behavior for the visit method in question.  When the new visitor is
  56  * introduced, all or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.
  57  *
  58  * @param <R> the return type of this visitor's methods
  59  * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods.
