Annotation Type Alias

@Target(value={TYPE,FIELD,PARAMETER,METHOD})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
public @interface Alias

Defines an alias for a Java type. Implementations of the extensions API can use this annotation in many ways, but in general terms it's useful to allow a Java type to have a name which makes sense from a coding point of view while maintaining a user friendly name in the places where the extensions API exposes such type
