Why would that break compile-time type-safety?
Imagine the following code
void main(args[] args) {
ValidatorFactory factory = Validation
.byDefaultProvider()
.configure()
.addBinding(NotNull.class, NumberNotNullValidator.class)
.createValidatorFactory();
public static class Address {
@NotNull String getStreet() { ... };
}
}
How would an annotation processor know that the factory is configured to bind NotNull with
NumberNotNullValidator and thus that Address.getStreet cannot be validated?
