@HashCodeAndEqualsPlugin.Enhance
public class RepeatedAnnotationPlugin
extends Plugin.ForElementMatcher

A plugin that allows for adding a java.lang.annotation.Repeatable annotation even if compiled prior to Java 8 which introduces this annotation. As the annotation is not present on previous JVM versions, it is ignored at runtime for older JVM versions what makes this approach feasible.
