71 // used to compile the rest of the JDK. The jdk.internal.javac.PreviewFeature
72 // annotation from the current sources is used when compiling interim javac.
73 // That's because the javac APIs of the current sources may be annotated with
74 // this annotation and they may be using the enum constants of the current sources.
75 // Furthermore, when compiling interim javac, the class files from the bootstrap JDK get
76 // used and those may also contain the PreviewFeature annotation. However, they may be
77 // using the enum constants of the bootstrap JDK's PreviewFeature annotation.
78 // If javac sees an annotation with an unknown enum constant, it produces a warning,
79 // and that in turn fails the build.
80 // So, in the current sources, we need to preserve the PreviewFeature enum constants
81 // for as long as the interim javac build needs it. As a result, we retain PreviewFeature
82 // enum constants for preview features that are present in the bootstrap JDK.
83 // Older constants can be removed.
84 //
85 // For example, Class-File API became final in JDK 24. As soon as JDK 23 was dropped as
86 // the bootstrap JDK, the CLASSFILE_API enum constant became eligible for removal.
