| This annotation a value that is of a particular syntax, such as Java syntax |
| or regular expression syntax. This can be used to provide syntax checking of |
| constant values at compile time, run time checking at runtime, and can assist |
| IDEs in deciding how to interpret String constants (e.g., should a |
| refactoring that renames method x() to y() update the String constant "x()"). |

| <DD>Value indicating the particular syntax denoted by this annotation. |
| Different tools will recognize different syntaxes, but some proposed |
| canonical values are: |
| <ul> |
| <li> "Java" |
| <li> "RegEx" |
| <li> "JavaScript" |
| <li> "Ruby" |
| <li> "Groovy" |
| <li> "SQL" |
| <li> "FormatString" |
| </ul> |
| |
| Syntax names can be followed by a colon and a list of key value pairs, |
| separated by commas. For example, "SQL:dialect=Oracle,version=2.3". Tools |
| should ignore any keys they don't recognize. |
