Description

When an annotation is used to configure an SCR component (as per DS 1.3), the annotation's default values are not considered.

This can lead to the odd situation that an annotation method with a default value returns null. I'm not sure if this violates a contract or another, however, my IDE complains when I do a null check.

I think it would be the right thing to do to return the default value if no value is explicitly configured.
