40 * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> The {@code AnnotationValueVisitor} interface
41 * implemented by this class may have methods added to it in the
42 * future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures
43 * added to future versions of the Java™ programming language.
44 * Therefore, methods whose names begin with {@code "visit"} may be
45 * added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities,
46 * classes which extend this class should not declare any instance
47 * methods with names beginning with {@code "visit"}.
48 *
49 * <p>When such a new visit method is added, the default
50 * implementation in this class will be to call the {@link
51 * #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method. A new abstract annotation
52 * value visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the
53 * new language level; this visitor will have different default
54 * behavior for the visit method in question. When the new visitor is
55 * introduced, all or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.
56 *
57 * <p>Note that adding a default implementation of a new visit method
58 * in a visitor class will occur instead of adding a <em>default
59 * method</em> directly in the visitor interface since a Java SE 8
60 * language feature cannot be used to this version of the API since
61 * this version is required to be runnable on Java SE 7
62 * implementations. Future versions of the API that are only required
63 * to run on Java SE 8 and later may take advantage of default methods
64 * in this situation.

67 * @param <P> the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods.
