annotations api

Hi,

The annotations api is currently separated in its own maven module and results also in a separate build artifact. I don't see a reason for that and suggest to re-factor the annotation module and make is part of the core api.

Any thoughts on that?

Good point! I will think about if we can reach this with a single api
module and Maven features (e.g. includes, excludes) or we keep it
separated as is.

Hello Stephan,
There could be one advantage of having the annotation as a separate module under api if the annotations (if at all) are to be used by some design time tools. The design time tools need not have direct dependency to core apis instead have dependency only to api-annotation only. The design time tools can then generate JAVA annotated classes out of api-annotation module.

Thanks,
Kind Regards
