Hi Chris,

Where would the confusion be in having both?

They appear to be identical in intent, serving as containers when more than @Index annotation is required. JPOX treats them as the same annotation, differing only in name.

It seems redundant and potentially confusing to include both of these; I suggest we choose one.

While the dictionary (New Oxford American) treats both 'indexes' and 'indices' as valid plural forms of 'index', it notes that 'indices' is favored "especially in technical contexts". Perhaps we can let that be the deciding vote?
