public final class Attributes extends Object

Attribute mappers for predefined (JVMS 4.7) and JDK-specific nonstandard attributes.

Unless otherwise specified, each mapper returned by methods in this class:

is predefined in the JVMS instead of JDK-specific;
does not permit multiple attribute instances in the same structure;
the attribute has a data dependency on the constant pool.
