Simone Tripodi updated DIGESTER-174:
------------------------------------
Description:
See documentation "Applying multiple annotation rule of the same type"
The inner annotation should be usable as a wrapper for the outer annotation, to
apply several rules to one element. Therefore the inner annotation has to have
the very same defined {{@Target}} annotations as the outer annotation. This is
not the case for most of the rules, making them practically useless.
Example:
{{@BeanPropertySetter}} - its {{@Target}} is {{ElementType.Field}}
but its inner List
{{@BeanPropertySetter.List}} - its {{@Target}} is {{ElementType.Type}}
The only place where this is correct are the Create Rules, which are the
annotations from the documentation.
May I suggest to create a test case or example for a multi annotation rule? The
provided example for annotated rules was very helpful for me, but is very
simple and doesn't cover multi annotated rules.
