Annotation Type CanReleaseReferences

@Beta
 @Documented
 @Target(value=ANNOTATION_TYPE)
public @interface CanReleaseReferences

Annotates scope annotations to indicate that references to objects stored within that scope can be released during the lifetime of the scope.

A scope can release references if it is annotated with CanReleaseReferences or if it is annotated with an annotation that itself is annotated with CanReleaseReferences.

For example:

    @Documented
    @Retention(RUNTIME)
    @CanReleaseReferences
    @Scope
   public  @interface MyScope {}

or:

    @CanReleaseReferences
   public  @interface SomeAnnotation {}

    @Documented
    @Retention(RUNTIME)
    @SomeAnnotation
    @Scope
   public  @interface MyScope {}

Note:Releasable references uses Java's WeakReference, and so is not compatible with GWT.
