Annotation Interface MutuallyExclusiveWith


@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(FIELD) public @interface MutuallyExclusiveWith
Annotation that indicates that you optionally permit one option from some set of options to be present, the set of options are identified by a user defined tag.

By using the same tag across several annotated options you can state that you require only one of those options to be present. This is a less restrictive version of RequireOnlyOne that means that all the options in the set are optional but if any are present then only one from the set may be present. If you require one/more from some set of options you should instead use the less restrictive RequireSome.
