> The specification and the API documentation differ on the required and optional meta-annotations of a qualfiier.
> JSR-299, 2.3.2 Defining new qualfier type specifies
> @Target(METHOD, FIELD, PARAMETER, TYPE} ("is")
> @Retention(RUNTIME) ("is")
> @Qualifier, but only optional ("may")
> API-Doc of Qualifier specifies 
> @Qualifier
> @Retention(RUNTIME)
> @Documented (optional, typical)
> @Target optional, but various element types as targets possible
> Both agree on Retention only.
> As a third source I might have a look at the code and the implemented validity check. I have not so far.
> I am a bit fussy about this because a missing @Target of my first custom scope messed up the proxying.
