    Description

      Users of javax.lang.model often have questions about the distinction between elements and types.

      The package-level documentation of javax.lang.model could expand the discussion of this topic.

      The key distinction is "definition" vs "use"; in other words, an entity is defined once, but can be used multiple times.
