---------------------------------
Summary: @AnnotationCollector should provide more control over
where collected annotations are placed
Key: GROOVY-7422
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7422
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: xforms
Affects Versions: 2.4.3
Reporter: Paul King
Assignee: Paul King
Fix For: 2.5.0-beta-1
When expanding a meta annotation alias into its annotation collection, it is
sometimes useful to be able to ensure the newly added annotations have a
specific ordering with respect to the other annotations that might be on an
annotated node. Currently there is a one size fits all approach. This issue
proposes adding an annotation parameter to {{@AnnotationCollection}} which lets
the collected annotations be placed at the front, end and inplace.
Assuming {{@A}} and {{@C}} are annotations and {{@B}} an annotation collector
aliasing two annotations {{@B1}} and {{@B2}}, then if we have the following
annotation list: {{@A @B @C}} it will be replaced by the following lists of
annotations:
{code}
FIRST: @B1 @B2 @A @C
INPLACE: @A @B1 @B2 @C
LAST: @A @C @B1 @B2
{code}
