@AirlineModule
The @AirlineModule
annotation is applied to fields to indicate that their value types should also be inspected to
discover further Airline metadata e.g. @Option
and @Arguments
annotated fields
that are used to define a command.
This is used to enable Airline’s Composition mechanism that allows common definitions of options and arguments to be shared across multiple command classes without using inheritance.
For a practical example of this annotation in use see the HelpOption
that is used
to provide a -h
/--help
option to other commands.
