Description
Annotation literals are often useful and therefore many projects implement them themselves. For example:
https://github.com/apache/deltaspike/blob/master/deltaspike/core/api/src/main/java/org/apache/deltaspike/core/api/literal/DefaultLiteral.java
https://github.com/weld/core/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/org/jboss/weld/literal/DefaultLiteral.java
https://github.com/forge/furnace-cdi/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/org/jboss/forge/furnace/container/cdi/util/DefaultLiteral.java
https://github.com/astefanutti/metrics-cdi/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/io/astefanutti/metrics/cdi/DefaultLiteral.java
to name a few.
It would be nice to provide these within the CDI API, e.g:
@Target( { TYPE, METHOD, PARAMETER, FIELD })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Qualifier
public @interface Default {
@SuppressWarnings("all")
final class Literal extends AnnotationLiteral<Default> implements Default {
private Literal() {
}
}
final Default INSTANCE = new Literal();
}
