Annotation Interface Uses

@Documented
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(TYPE)
@Repeatable(Container.class)
public @interface Uses

Marks that an annotated component implicitly uses another component. This will ensure that any dependencies of the used component are also loaded.

Marking class A with @Uses(B.class) will ensure all StyleSheet, JavaScript dependencies for class B are loaded when class A is used.

For PolymerTemplate implementations, used components will also be instantiated if an element with the corresponding @Tag value is defined in the template. Note that Polymer template support is deprecated - we recommend you to use LitTemplate instead. Read more details from the Vaadin blog.
