'Bundled' @JsonView annotations should merge about jackson-annotations HOT 5 OPEN

Interesting. Yes, I could see why it would make sense.

Similar merging would make sense for some other annotations, like:

• @JsonIgnoreProperties (when listing properties)
• @JsonSubTypes (to combine sets of subtypes)

and probably others I can't think of now. For others it may be necessary to simply take one of the lists, as there is no meaningful way to merge values contained.

I'll have to figure out how feasible this is to do; if all goes well, it could get added in 2.5 (I expect some changes to internal APIs are needed).

That would be great if it works out. Also, it is great how quickly you respond to issues. It is very appreciated.

@davideanderson I have noticed that it is better to try to respond quickly; otherwise it's easy to forget. And it's also self-reinforcing process, I appreciate when submitter follows up on issue too.

Quick progress will halt for a bit (I'll be off for 20 day vacation now :) ), but hopefully we'll get this resolved in July. Thank you again for good suggestion; use case makes sense but I hadn't thought about it. One of those things that are obvious in hindsight.

Enjoy the vacation.. 20 days sounds great!

Just a quick note: have not been able to figure out how to do this yet, will not be part of 2.6.
