This class represents a reference to an unknown (i.e., application-specific) attribute of a class. It is instantiated from the Attribute.readAttribute(DataInput, ConstantPool) method. Applications that need to read in application-specific attributes should create an UnknownAttributeReader implementation and attach it via Attribute.addAttributeReader(String, UnknownAttributeReader).
