Annotation Interface OptionGroup

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(FIELD) public @interface OptionGroup
Indicates which @Option-annotated fields are part of an option group — a related set of user-visible features. Option groups are documented in Options.

Write OptionGroup on the first field in every group. Every @Option-annotated field must be part of a group if any of them are.

@OptionGroup must appear after a field's Javadoc comment, if any. A Javadoc comment between @OptionGroup and the field is ignored. For example, you must write 

  /** comment for first option*/
 @OptionGroup("the group")
 @Option("the first option")
  public static int firstOption = blah;

instead of 

 @OptionGroup("the group")

  /** comment for first option*/
 @Option("the first option")
  public static int firstOption = blah;
