What does this mean:
{@link KeyEvent#KEYCODE_ENTER}
I have seen it a couple times and I'm not quite sure what it represents. I am writing a testing program using Robotium, JUnit, and Android. If anyone could offer some clarification on the subject, more specificly, the {@link} part, that would be great!
Thank you in advance.

This inserts an inline link with a visible text label. The text label points to the documentation for the specified package, class, or member name. This tag can be used everywhere, including an overview, package, class, method, field, etc.
Javadoc is a documentation tool for the Java programming language. The document it creates from the Java sources is in HTML format and describes the application programming interface.
@see <a href="URL#value">label</a> : Adds a link as defined by URL#value . The URL#value is a relative or absolute URL. The Javadoc tool distinguishes this from other cases by looking for a less-than symbol ( < ) as the first character.
Javadoc provides the @link inline tag for referencing the members in the Java classes. We can think of the @link tag as similar to the anchor tag in HTML, which is used to link one page to another via hyperlinks. Similar to the anchor tag, the path_to_member is the destination, and the label is the display text.
I have not formally learned so perhaps someone can expand upon what I say.
It is shorthand that tells the java docs to insert a link to the desired place when they are being viewed. For instance when you view the javadocs for whatever method has that inside your IDE you'll be shown a link that will take you to the KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER javadoc upon being clicked.

It's an annotation used so when you generate the Javadoc, you'll have a link for the specified item. In this case, the KeyEvent class, with the anchor of KEYCODE_ENTER.
