Use Java annotations to automatically set protocol properties
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-723
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-723
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 2.7
            Reporter: Vladimir Blagojevic
         Assigned To: Vladimir Blagojevic
             Fix For: 2.7

Currently we use a lot of boiler plate code to read protocol properties specified in configuration file. We can eliminate this unnecessary code by using annotations and a bit of Java reflection that would assign protocol property values to matching Java fields, give warnings for deprecated properties, and so on. We should:

1) introduce @ProtocolProperty annotation 
2) annotate Protocol fields that are properties 
3) test framework
4) remove all current boilerplate code
