Using the single-value syntax when applying an annotation that has other members,
if other members all have default values.
@interface SomeAnno {
int value();
int xyz() default 0;
}

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@interface MyAnnotation {
int value();
int defaultValue() default 100;
}
@MyAnnotation(102)
public class MainClass {
// Annotate a method.
@MyAnnotation(101)
public static void myMethod() {
}
public static void main(String[] arg) {
try {
MainClass ob = new MainClass();

Annotation[] annos = m.getAnnotations();
System.out.println("All annotations for myMeth:");
for(Annotation a : annos)
System.out.println(a);
} catch (Exception exc) {

}
}
All annotations for myMeth:
@MyAnnotation(defaultValue=100, value=101)
