/**
 * Denotes that all parameters, fields or methods within a class or method by
 * default can not be null. This can be overridden by adding specific
 * {@link com.android.annotations.Nullable} annotations on fields, parameters or
 * methods that should not use the default.
 * <p/>
 * NOTE: Eclipse does not yet handle defaults well (in particular, if
 * you add this on a class which implements Comparable, then it will insist
 * that your compare method is changing the nullness of the compare parameter,
 * so you'll need to add @Nullable on it, which also is not right (since
 * the method should have implied @NonNull and you do not need to check
 * the parameter.). For now, it's best to individually annotate methods,
 * parameters and fields.
 * <p/>
 * This is a marker annotation and it has no specific attributes.
