Description

Currently, component properties can be declared in DM annotations using a "properties" attribute which accepts an array of @Property annotations.

But since we are now using java8 for the R7 version, if would be nicer to support repeatable @Property annotations.

For example:

@Component(provides=MyService.class)
@Property(name="v1", value="s")
@Property(name="v2", value={"s1", "s2"})
@Property(name="v3", values={"s1", "s2"})
public class MyServiceImpl implements MyService, Runnable {
...
}
