SimplifiableAnnotation

Reports annotations that can be simplified to their single-element or marker shorthand form.

Problems reported:

• Redundant value= in annotation name-value pairs
• Redundant braces around array values that contain only a single value
• Redundant whitespace between the @-sign and the name of annotations
• Redundant whitespace between annotation names and parameter lists
• Redundant parentheses in annotations without any parameters

Example:

@interface Foo { String[] value(); }

  @ Foo({"foo"})
  public String name;

After the quick-fix is applied:

@interface Foo { String[] value(); }

  @Foo("foo")
  public String name;
