@TypeName annotation scanner

[bartoszwalacik]

As a JaVers user I want to scan all my classes with @typename annotation (in given package)
with one call to JaversBuilder (preferably scanTypeNames(String packageToScan))
in order to use them in all kinds of JQL queries without getting TYPE_NAME_NOT_FOUND exception.

@SInCE 1.4

Vote here if you think that it could be useful.

@abibell , this is not a good place for copy pasting long code listing, if you have questions about using JaversBuilder.scanTypeName() - ask on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/javers

1. I could bring in ann library and use it for scanTypeNames(). Are you ok with this?
2. What are your thoughts on using configuration property packageToScan which is baked in the base bean which will scan package if provided. It would not scan if there is no value provided (default). Package scanning maybe fairly common scenario like choice of algorithm and others to be considered for Configuration over customisation.

If we are on same page I could finish and send PR today

1. some evaluation is required, maybe you can suggest some lib (there are many) and I will test it. It should be small and fast. We strive to keep javers-core dependencies list short. Maybe we will create a new module (named javers-core-ann-scanner) ?
2. yes, packageToScan property sounds like a good idea
