annotation-based options not working

[depressiveRobot]

Overview of the issue

For example, if the option filter is applied using the annotation syntax (@filter), no *Criteria classes are generated. Using the regular form (filter Foo) the classes are generated.

The same applies at least for pagination, too (which I have tested also).

Motivation for or Use Case

We are using the annotation-based form for entity options. However, this is not working anymore with JHipster 8.6.0

Reproduce the error

• create a default jhipster app (run jhipster and just press enter for all questions)
• create a jdl file with following content:

JDL definitions

@filter
@paginate(pagination)
entity Foo {
  name String required
  foo Boolean required
}

• run jhipster jdl schema.jdl
• no *Criteria classes (e.g. src/main/java/com/mycompany/myapp/service/criteria/FooCriteria.java) are generated and src/main/java/com/mycompany/myapp/service/FooQueryService.java does not contain pagination logic.

Filter option is converted to jpaMetamodelFiltering property, you should use @JpaMetamodelFiltering annotation.
