@Inherited @Documented @Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({TYPE,CONSTRUCTOR,METHOD,ANNOTATION_TYPE}) public @interface Metered
An annotation for marking a method of an annotated object as metered.

Given a method like this:

     }

A meter for the defining class with the name fancyName will be created and each time the #fancyName(String) method is invoked, the meter will be marked.
