All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPersistentEntity, RuntimePersistentEntity, SourcePersistentEntity

public interface PersistentEntity
extends PersistentElement

Models a persistent entity and provides an API that can be used both within the compiler and at runtime. The AnnotationMetadata provided is consistent both at runtime and compilation time.
