## Annotation Type Subst

-     @Retention(CLASS)
      @Target({METHOD,FIELD,LOCAL_VARIABLE,PARAMETER})
      public @interface Subst

  Specifies the replacement value for non-constant variables and method return values. This may help static analyzers to properly parse the concatenation of several values which is used in @`Language` or `Pattern` context.

  Example:

       @Subst("Tahoma")
       final String font = new JLabel().getFont().getName();

       @Language("HTML")
       String message = "<html><span style='font: " + font + "; font-size:smaller'>"
         + ... + "</span></html>";

  Here the parser assumes that when `font` appears in the concatenation it's value is `"Tahoma"`, so it can continue parsing the concatenation.
