public Class<? extends Annotation>[] value()

List of MethodMonitorGroups that are subgrops of this one. Because annotations don't support circularity, the type can't be MethodMonitorGroup[], so we require that all classes in subgroups be annotations which are annotated with MethodMonitorGroup.

Returns:Class<? extends Annotation>[]

List of MethodMonitorGroups that are subgroups of this one.
