Well there would be zero point in deprecating them since they are required for @Repeatable to work, hence they can never be deleted. > Question: > why was ElementType.TYPE added to Column? What does this mean? Means that when @Column annotation was originally added it was incorrect. @Column on a class is to define "unmapped columns" to equate to <column> just under <class> in XML. When adding @Repeatable the compiler tells you about such errors so had to be fixed (so that the singular annotation with @Repeatable is consistent with the container annotation).
