SignatureAttribute is a preview API of the Java platform.
Programs can only use SignatureAttribute when preview features are enabled.
Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.
Models the Signature attribute (JVMS 4.7.9), which can appear on classes, methods, or fields. Delivered as a ClassElementPREVIEW, FieldElementPREVIEW, or MethodElementPREVIEW when traversing the corresponding model type.

The attribute does not permit multiple instances in a given location. Subsequent occurrence of the attribute takes precedence during the attributed element build or transformation.

The attribute was introduced in the Java SE Platform version 5.0.
