/**
 * Java does not support nullable annotation values.
 * By defining an annotation value as an array and annotating it with @SingleValue, nullable AVs can be emulated.
 * The AV is considered to be null, if the array is empty. Furthermore, when retrieving the value in expressions, it will 
 * never be an array but always a single value.
