public enum HintKind

What a String build hint really holds.

The attribute’s Java type says whether a hint is a flag, a number, a list or one of a closed set. It cannot say which KIND of string a string is, and the Settings editor picks its control from exactly that: a version gets a version field, a secret gets a masked one, an XML fragment gets a multi-line box.

Named rather than spelled out in a string member, so a typo is a compile error instead of a hint that quietly renders as a plain text field.

Enum constants

`DEFAULT`	Whatever the attribute’s Java type says on its own.
`TEXT_BLOCK`	Prose or code long enough to want more than one line.
`XML`	An XML fragment spliced into a manifest or a project file.
`PATH`	A filesystem path.
`URL`	A URL.
`VERSION`	A version number.
`SECRET`	A credential, which the editor must not show in the clear.

Methods
