I can see myself using @Positive a lot if it exists, I find it much more readable than @DecimalMin(value="0", inclusive=false) and can be even more generic and support float and double. I don’t imagine that rounding errors occur for 0.

Though there is probably a need for a @Positive(strict=true) and I would advocate strict to be false by default so that 0 is considered positive.
