The presence of this annotation on an API indicates that the method may not be used with
the Google Web Toolkit (GWT).
This annotation behaves identically to the @GwtIncompatible annotation in GWT itself.

Describes why the annotated element is incompatible with GWT. Since this is generally due to a
dependence on a type/method which GWT doesn't support, it is sufficient to simply reference the
unsupported type/method. E.g. "Class.isInstance".
As of Guava 20.0, this value is optional. We encourage authors who wish to describe why an API is @GwtIncompatible to instead leave an implementation comment. /**
