# IncompleteAnnotationException

public class **IncompleteAnnotationException** extends [RuntimeException](https://developers.google.com/j2objc/javadoc/jre/reference/java/lang/RuntimeException.html)  
Thrown to indicate that a program has attempted to access an element of
an annotation type that was added to the annotation type definition after
the annotation was compiled (or serialized). This exception will not be
thrown if the new element has a default value.
This exception can be thrown by the {@linkplain java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement API used to read annotations
reflectively}.
