JDL annotations should allow strings with spaces and utf-8 characters.

[mshima]

Overview of the issue

Annotations with spaces inside values like:

@entityClassHumanized("Foo Bar")
entity FooBar {
  name String
}

Exits with error:

error: Syntax error message:
    NoViableAltException: Expecting: one of these possible Token sequences:
  1. [NAME]
  2. [INTEGER]
  3. [DECIMAL]
but found: '"foo bar"'

Motivation for or Use Case

Useful for custom labels. See https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/pull/11981

More specifically for utf-8 characters, where generated i18n is almost useless:

@entityClassHumanized("Instituição")
@entityClassPluralHumanized("Instituições")
entity Instituicao {
  name String
}

@MathieuAA I was thinking about adding annotations support to application.config like:

aplication {
  @customAnnotation
  config {
    baseName foo
  }
}

What don you think?

[MathieuAA]

What does it add?

[mshima]

A workaround to https://github.com/jhipster/jhipster-core/issues/448

aplication {
  @blueprintSpecificConfig
  config {
    baseName foo
  }
}

@MathieuAA never mind, it's harder than I anticipated: https://github.com/mshima/jhipster-core/tree/config_annotation.

Can you release 7.3.3 for jhipster 6.10.0?

[MathieuAA]

Tomorrow yes! I'll have some free time

Great thanks 👍 .
