/**
 * An annotation on a SourceChecker subclass to provide additional stub files that should be used in
 * addition to jdk.astub. This allows larger compound checkers to separate the annotations into
 * multiple files.
 *
 * <p>This annotation is not inherited. That means that if a checker with this annotation is
 * subclassed, then this annotation must be copied to the subclass and the stub file must also be
 * copied to the directory that contains the subclass.
