Java多个注解合并,如何将多个注释合并为一个注释？

I have two annotations from a framework. Often I use those two annotations both on the same field. Thus I'm trying to create a "combined" annotation that contains that both two.

But I don't know if it is possible at all:

The existing annotations (that I have no control of):

@Target({ElementType.PARAMETER, ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD})

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)

public @interface ApiParam {

String name() default "";

}

@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD})

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)

public @interface ApiModelProperty {

String name() default "";

}

My Custom annotation that I'm trying to create:

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)

@Target(ElementType.ANNOTATION_TYPE)

@ApiParam

@ApiModelProperty

public @interface SwaggerParam {

String name() default "";

}

Result: the annotations are not applicable to annotation type.

Question: Is there any chance?

Unfortunately you can't do this since it is not possible to extend annotations.

When I first answered this I was initially confused by the Spring framework approach to this shortcoming whereby they use meta level annotations (such as @Component as a meta annotation for @Controller/@Configuration etc.) as a sort of workaround.
