Extensions not found when using decorated annotations

[robzienert]

It looks like PF4J's @Extension annotation cannot be put onto another annotation.

My project is looking to add additional metadata and PF4J does not appear to find any extensions that use our @SpinnakerExtension annotation:

@Extension
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
@Documented
public @interface SpinnakerExtension {
}

The SpinnakerExtension annotation has additional fields which are required for our project to process things correctly. The workaround for the moment, is to include both annotations on an extension, but this is undesirable as a long-term solution.

If I understand correctly, this issue is identical with the feature describes here.

@robzienert, @tylerhawkes
I think that I solved this feature request (see PR #348). I published a new SNAPSHOT that contains this feature.
Can you test it please?
If you use Maven in your project(s), please take a look at doc to find how to use SNAPSHOT in your project(s).

@robzienert @tylerhawkes
My intention is to release a new version soon, that mainly will contain this feature and #289. In this context, do you think this problem is solved (with what we have on the master's branch) or do you expect more?

@decebals This release looks like it will achieve the original request here - thank you!
