Hi, above is not exactly correct in that Java allows annotations to
have attributes.

Some examples:

@KafkaListener(id = "fooGroup3", topics = "topic3")
public void listen2(List<String> in) {
}

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
@AutoConfigureTestDatabase
@DirtiesContext(classMode = DirtiesContext.ClassMode.BEFORE_CLASS)
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {Application.class, TestConfig.class,
MockKafkaConfig.class})
public class TestMe {
}

Etc.

Since @ symbol is not valid in Java programs, its use in annotations
makes them very visible.
