>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.5

> I am using annotation collectors to simplify configuration for JPA entities. I would like to have something like this:
> {code}
> @AnnotationCollector
> @Entity
> @CompileStatic
> @JsonIdentityInfo(property = "id", generator = ObjectIdGenerators.PropertyGenerator.class)
> @interface JpaTable {}
> {code}
> {code}
> @AnnotationCollector
> @JpaTable
> @UuidId
> @interface JpaMainEntity {}
> {code}
> However, {{@AnnotationCollector}} can't "roll up" annotations like this; if I make {{JpaTable}} a Java annotation, then the {{@AnnotationCollector}} *on* it is ignored, and if I make it a Groovy annotation, it's elided, and at compile time the processor for {{JpaMainEntity}} complains that {{JpaTable}} is not an annotation.
> Instead, it would be helpful if the collector could operate recursively. This might require reworking how the collector processor currently runs to actually compile it as a {{.class}} instead of discarding it during compilation.
