Spring core support for annotations, meta-annotations, and composed annotations with attribute overrides

Spring's meta-annotations and composed annotations are very easy to use.

But in some cases we only need the annotation toolkit but not the whole spring-core(>1MB).

Here comes this project. A minimized spring annotation toolkit (<150KB) with minimize dependencies.
