A skeletal visitor for annotation values with default behavior appropriate for the RELEASE_6 source version. 
 WARNING: The AnnotationValueVisitor interface implemented by this class may have methods added to it in the future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of the Java™ programming language. Therefore, methods whose names begin with "visit" may be added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities, classes which extend this class should not declare any instance methods with names beginning with "visit". 
When such a new visit method is added, the default implementation in this class will be to call the visitUnknown method. A new abstract annotation value visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the visit method in question. When the new visitor is introduced, all or portions of this visitor may be deprecated. 
Author:Joseph D. Darcy, Scott Seligman, Peter von der Ahé
Type parameters:
  • <R> – the return type of this visitor's methods
  • <P> – the type of the additional parameter to this visitor's methods.
