> At the moment a constraint annotation does not contain a {{List}} of constraints. So, at the moment, the command {{constraint-new-annotation}} generates the following code : 
> {code}
> @Documented
> @Constraint(validatedBy = {})
> @Target( { METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER })
> @Retention(RUNTIME)
> @ReportAsSingleViolation
> public @interface URL {
> 	String message() default "Invalid value";
> 	Class<?>[] groups() default { };
> 	Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default { };
> {code}
> It should add a nested annotation {{List}} of type array of constraint
> {code}
> @Documented
> @Constraint(validatedBy = {})
> @Target( { METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER })
> @Retention(RUNTIME)
> @ReportAsSingleViolation
> public @interface URL {
> 	String message() default "Invalid value";
> 	Class<?>[] groups() default { };
> 	Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default { };
> 	@Target( { METHOD, FIELD, ANNOTATION_TYPE, CONSTRUCTOR, PARAMETER })
> 	@Retention(RUNTIME)
