Summary

Public constructors
`AnnotationFormatError(String message)` Constructs a new `AnnotationFormatError` with the specified detail message.
`AnnotationFormatError(String message, Throwable cause)` Constructs a new `AnnotationFormatError` with the specified detail message and cause.
`AnnotationFormatError(Throwable cause)` Constructs a new `AnnotationFormatError` with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause == null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`).

From class java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.
