     28  * Denotes that the annotated method can be called from any thread (e.g. it is "thread safe".)

     30  * from any thread.
     31  * <p>
     32  * The main purpose of this method is to indicate that you believe a method can be called
     33  * from any thread; static tools can then check that nothing you call from within this method
     34  * or class have more strict threading requirements.
     35  * <p>
     36  * Example:
     37  * <pre><code>
     38  *  &#64;AnyThread
     39  *  public void deliverResult(D data) { ... }
     40  * </code></pre>
