Annotation Type FieldGroup

@Documented
 @Target(value=ANNOTATION_TYPE)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface FieldGroup

Allows specification of a field group which should take place on the class level (see FieldGroups for further explanation). The specification of contained fields does take place on the field directly with a reference to the group in order to allow adding fields in subclasses (which is much easier if just the reference to the group defined on the superclass needs to be passed instead of developing an override mechanism of FieldGroups and FieldGroup annotations on subclasses) and improving readability of information about group membership directly on the field.
