> property metadata is most time defined via annotation classes, which are parsed at run time to get the configuration metadata. unfortunately the java reflection API does not provide a way to access the order of methods/properties as they are defined in the source code.
> so we introduce an optional "order" property in the @Property annotation which allows to control the order.
> (an alternative would be to parse the annotation source code files at built time, generate some metadata files, include them in the bundle and parse the metadata at run time - but this is too much effort for now, and could still be added later if needed).
