/**
 * Marks a SWTBot widget so tools recognise them. This anotation is primarily used to describe the convinience API that
 * should be generated for a class annotated with the specified widget.
 * <p>
 * Usage:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * @SWTBotWidget(clasz = Button.class, style = @Style(name = "SWT.PUSH", value = SWT.PUSH), preferredName = "button", referenceBy = { ReferenceBy.LABEL, ReferenceBy.MNEMONIC, ReferenceBy.TOOLTIP })
 * public class SWTBotButton ...{
 *   // the implement 
 * }
 * </pre>
 * 
 * The above represents:
 * <ul>
 * <li>widget of type 'Button.class'</li>
 * <li>with style bits 'SWT.PUSH'</li>
 * <li>the preferred name for the generated API would be 'button'</li>
 * <li>the widget can be referenced by: <strong>a combination</strong> of LABEL, MNEMONIC, TOOLTIP, in addition to the
 * defaults described in {@link #defaultReferenceBy()}</li>
 * </ul>
 * This annotation will generate the following convinience API to find buttons:
 * <ul>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithLabel(String label)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithLabel(String label, int index)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton button(String mnemonicText)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton button(String mnemonicText, int index)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithTooltip(String tooltip)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithTooltip(String tooltip, int index)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithId(String key, String value)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithId(String key, String value, int index)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithId(String value)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithId(String value, int index)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonInGroup(String inGroup)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonInGroup(String inGroup, int index)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton button()</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton button(int index)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithLabelInGroup(String label, String inGroup)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithLabelInGroup(String label, String inGroup, int index)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonInGroup(String mnemonicText, String inGroup)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonInGroup(String mnemonicText, String inGroup, int index)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithTooltipInGroup(String tooltip, String inGroup)</li>
 * <li>public SWTBotButton buttonWithTooltipInGroup(String tooltip, String inGroup, int index)</li>
 * </ul>
