package javax.lang.model.element;
Represents a modifier on a program element such
as a class, method, or field.
Not all modifiers are applicable to all kinds of elements.
When two or more modifiers appear in the source code of an element
then it is customary, though not required, that they appear in the same
order as the constants listed in the detail section below.
Note that it is possible additional modifiers will be added in
future versions of the platform.
