Some of you might've seen Joe Darcy's recent proposal for supporting
repeating annotations:
https://blogs.oracle.com/darcy/entry/repeating_annotations_in_the_works
This is something we've asked for to better support the use of
annotations in Java EE. You'll recognize that his proposal matches
the pattern we've been using as a "workaround".
If you have any feedback on this proposal, feel free to add a comment
to Joe's blog, or send it to me or this group and I'll make sure Joe
sees it.
