All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, Plugin, Plugin.Factory, ElementMatcher<TypeDescription>

@Enhance
public class RepeatedAnnotationPlugin
extends Plugin.ForElementMatcher
implements Plugin.Factory

A plugin that allows for adding a java.lang.annotation.Repeatable annotation even if compiled prior to Java 8 which introduces this annotation. As the annotation is not present on previous JVM versions, it is ignored at runtime for older JVM versions what makes this approach feasible.
