@Language should be applicable as a type-annotation. #43
Description
Description
@Target ElementType.TYPE_USE may be added to @Language annotation to allow its usage in applicablecontexts.
Example
Currently the following example won't compile although it is logical:
private final @NotNull Map<@NotNull NamespacedKey, @Language("json") @NotNull String> addedAdvancements;Another positive side is that while currently IntelliJ warns on incorrect order in the following case:
public void addAdvancement(final @NotNull NamespacedKey key,
final @Language("json") @NotNull String advancementJson) { /* ... */ }suggesting swapping of final and @Language("json"), this wouldn't be true if TYPE_USE was present on the annotation.
Activity
Add `TYPE_USE` target to `@Language` annotation

This would be nice for other annotations like
@MagicConstant,@Pattern,@RegExp, and@Substas well, but I think it's intentional since all these annotations are in theorg.intellij.annotationspackage (or maybe because they're old annotations).Tholian commentedon May 7, 2025
I would love to have this ability for my
Consumer<String>andSupplier<String>as well.It would be really nice to have those strings highlighted as well.
