Package org.springframework.lang
Annotation Interface CheckReturnValue
Specifies that the method return value must be used.
Inspired by org.jetbrains.annotations.CheckReturnValue, this variant
has been introduced in the org.springframework.lang package to avoid
requiring an extra dependency, while still following similar semantics.
This annotation should not be used if the return value of the method
provides only additional information. For example, the main purpose
of Collection.add(Object) is to modify the collection
and the return value is only interesting when adding an element to a set,
to see if the set already contained that element before.
