Indicates that all members of the class or package should be annotated with the default value of the supplied annotation class. This would be used for behavior annotations such as @NonNull, @CheckForNull, or @CheckReturnValue. In particular, you can use @DefaultAnnotation(NonNull.class) on a class or package, and then use @Nullable only on those parameters, methods or fields that you want to allow to be null.
Author:William Pugh
Deprecated:- Use the JSR305 annotations instead. For example, you can use ParametersAreNonnullByDefault instead of @DefaultAnnotation(NonNull.class) so that method parameters are nonnull by default in the annotated element. You can also use TypeQualifierDefault in general to define your own annotation that specifies a default type qualifier. For example,

 Nonnegative TypeQualifierDefault(ElementType.PARAMETER) public @interface ParametersAreNonnegativeByDefault {} 

The JSR305 CheckReturnValue annotation can be applied to a type or package, and it will act as a default for all methods in that class or package unless otherwise overridden.
