Before Java 8 if you needed to use multiple instances of the same annotation, they had to be wrapped in a container annotation. With Java 8, that's no longer necessary, allowing for cleaner, more readable code.
Note that this rule is automatically disabled when the project's sonar.java.source is lower than 8.
Noncompliant Code Example
@SomeAnnotations({ // Noncompliant
@SomeAnnotation(..a..),
@SomeAnnotation(..b..),
@SomeAnnotation(..c..),
})
public class SomeClass {
...
}
Compliant Solution
@SomeAnnotation(..a..)
@SomeAnnotation(..b..)
@SomeAnnotation(..c..)
public class SomeClass {
...
}
