Defaulting the default message key to annotation class name

Hi,

Just wondering whether it might be a good idea to default the
message property on the annotation type to the name of the annotation type. So for example for the CheckCase annotation, if a message key was not specified, it would default to:

com.mycompany.CheckCase

Thoughts?

I'd say its a bit too much magic and make it harder on the annotation user if it does not know the spell. So I'd not go for it.
