Annotation Interface Parameter

@Target(FIELD)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Parameter

A field annotated with the Parameter annotation can be configured from Bookmap's GUI ("Configure api plugins" dialog).
Field types accepted:
- Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double (numeric types);
- String;
- Boolean;
- Color;
Any Parameter field must be initialized in a user's class (custom module).
Numeric types:
A spinner gets created for any numeric field. A user should specify spinner values:
- step;
- minimum value;
- maximum value.
Otherwise, default values will be used:
- step = 1;
- minimum value = 0;
- maximum value = maximal field type value (e.g.Integer.MAX_VALUE if the field is of Integer type).
Non-numeric field types (String, Boolean, Color):
Step, minimum and maximum values for any other field type should not be specified. Even if specified, they will be ignored.
GUI elements generated for non-numeric field types:
- String - text field;
- Boolean - checkbox;
- Color - color interface.
