Define annotation only applicable to static methods

Question

Is there any way to define an annotation in Java that can only be used on static methods? For example, using:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.METHOD)

enables you to specify that the annotation can only be used on methods, but what about static methods?

Thanks!

Answer 1

In short, no. But whatever code is processing the annotation can check that the method it's attached to is static.
