使用其他注释的Java自定义注释

Question

Because of problems with Powermock and Java 11, we have had to use the @PowerMockIgnore on all our test classes.

@PowerMockIgnore({ "javax.management.*", "com.sun.org.apache.xerces.*", "javax.xml.*",
        "org.xml.*", "org.w3c.dom.*", "com.sun.org.apache.xalan.*", "javax.activation.*" })

In order to avoid duplicating this in all test classes, we created a custom annotation to be used instead that had this PowerMockIgnore defined on one place. So that all we would need in all our test classes would be

@SuppressPowerMockInitError

However: This custom annotation does not seem to work.

import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.METHOD;
import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.TYPE;
import static java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME;

import java.lang.annotation.Documented;
import java.lang.annotation.Inherited;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PowerMockIgnore;

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({ TYPE, METHOD })
@Inherited
@Documented
@PowerMockIgnore({ "javax.management.*", "com.sun.org.apache.xerces.*", "javax.xml.*",
        "org.xml.*", "org.w3c.dom.*", "com.sun.org.apache.xalan.*", "javax.activation.*" })
public @interface SuppressPowerMockInitError {

}

It does not look like it is possible to achieve this with annotations.

However creating an abstract class that has this common annotation seems like the best way to achieve this.

import org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PowerMockIgnore;

@PowerMockIgnore({ "javax.management.*", "com.sun.org.apache.xerces.*", "javax.xml.*",
        "org.xml.*", "org.w3c.dom.*", "com.sun.org.apache.xalan.*", "javax.activation.*" })
public abstract class AbstractPowerMockTest {

}
