Description
See documentation "Applying multiple annotation rule of the same type"
The inner annotation should be usable as a wrapper for the outer annotation, to apply several rules to one element. Therefore the inner annotation has to have the very same defined @Target annotations as the outer annotation. This is not the case for most of the rules, making them practically useless.
Example:
@BeanPropertySetter - its @Target is ElementType.Field
but its inner List
@BeanPropertySetter.List - its @Target is ElementType.Type
The only place where this is correct are the Create Rules, which are the annotations from the documentation.
May I suggest to create a test case or example for a multi annotation rule? The provided example for annotated rules was very helpful for me, but is very simple and doesn't cover multi annotated rules.
