I have a Annotation called
@Retention( RetentionPolicy.SOURCE )
@Target( ElementType.METHOD )
public @interface JIRA
{
/**
* The 'Key' (Bug number / JIRA reference) attribute of the JIRA issue.
*/
String key();
}
which allows to add annotation like this
@JIRA( key = "JIRA1" )
is there any way to allow this to happen
@JIRA( key = "JIRA1", "JIRA2", ..... )
the reason is, we currently annotate the test against a Jira task or bug fix, but sometimes, then the value will get parsed by sonar. problem is a single test covers more then 1 bug.

It is now possible to use an annotation zero times, once, or, if the annotation's type is marked as @Repeatable , more than once. It is also possible to restrict where an annotation type can be used by using the @Target meta-annotation.
In Java 8 (released in March 2014), it is possible to write repeated/duplicate annotations.
It is also possible to use multiple annotations on the same declaration: @Author(name = "Jane Doe") @EBook class MyClass { ... } If the annotations have the same type, then this is called a repeating annotation: @Author(name = "Jane Doe") @Author(name = "John Smith") class MyClass { ... }
Java annotations are metadata (data about data) for our program source code. They provide additional information about the program to the compiler but are not part of the program itself. These annotations do not affect the execution of the compiled program.
Change your key() function to return String[] rather than String then you can pass various values using String[]
public @interface JIRA {
/**
* The 'Key' (Bug number / JIRA reference) attribute of the JIRA issue.
*/
String[] key();
}
Use it like below
@JIRA(key = {"JIRA1", "JIRA2"})
