Minor Description
This compiles, but I don't think it should ...
An annotation definition with a member:
===============================
@AnnotationMemberTypes.Date(format="yyyy-MM-dd", minValue="2005-01-31", maxValue="2005-12-31")
String date();
And a annotation instance of:
=======================
@ConstrainedProperties.Properties(
...
date="2005-09-30x",
....
)
Retriving the member value at runtime returns: 2005-09-30x as a String and fails to parse at runtime. I do get a compilation error if the basic format is not correct. For example using date="2005/09/30x".
It would also be helpful if the error messages indicate what the current value and parse format is. The current error generation is:
error("Value assigned to a date property is not in the specified format.");
maybe something like ... error("Value:"+ value + " assigned to a date property is not in the specified format:"+format);
