How can I do Java annotation like @name(“Luke”) with no attribute inside parenthesis?

Question

How I can do custom Java annotation with no attribute name inside parentheses?

I don\'t want this: @annotation_name(att=valor). I just want like in Serv

Quoting Annotations official documentation:

If there is just one element named value, then the name may be omitted, as in:

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
void myMethod() { }

This is how this annotation is defined:

public @interface SuppressWarnings {
  String[] value();
}

As you can see the documentation isn't entirely right, other attributes are also allowed ("just one element"), see WebServlet - but the one named value is treated differently.
