0N/A/**
0N/A <p>An annotation on a constructor that shows how the parameters of
0N/A that constructor correspond to the constructed object's getter
0N/A methods. For example:
0N/A
0N/A <blockquote>
0N/A<pre>
0N/A public class Point {
0N/A &#64;ConstructorProperties({"x", "y"})
0N/A public Point(int x, int y) {
0N/A this.x = x;
0N/A this.y = y;
0N/A }
0N/A
0N/A public int getX() {
0N/A return x;
0N/A }
0N/A
0N/A public int getY() {
0N/A return y;
0N/A }
0N/A
0N/A private final int x, y;
0N/A }
0N/A</pre>
0N/A</blockquote>
0N/A
0N/A The annotation shows that the first parameter of the constructor
0N/A can be retrieved with the {@code getX()} method and the second with
0N/A the {@code getY()} method. Since parameter names are not in
0N/A general available at runtime, without the annotation there would be
0N/A no way to know whether the parameters correspond to {@code getX()}
0N/A and {@code getY()} or the other way around.</p>
