Description

Currently the name of an annotated field defaults to classname + "." + field. It should only default to "field".

My code is littered with lines like:

public static final String PARAM_SOME_PARAMETER = "someParameter";
@ConfigurationParameter(name = PARAM_SOME_PARAMETER)
private String someParameter;

It would be nice to be able write something like:

@ConfigurationParameter
private String someParameter;

AnalysisEngine ae = createPrimitive(MyAE.class, "someParameter", "someValue");
