Annotation Interface ObjectInstance

@Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface ObjectInstance

Descriptor of object instance, can pass constructor arguments. Constructor arguments are constrained to string type.

For example, take class P: 
 class P {
     P() { ... };
     P(String a) { ... };
     P(String a, String b) { ... };
     P(String a, int b) { ... }; // can't instantiate using instance descriptor!
 }
Instance descriptors to create 3 instances of object P, each using different constructor are: 

 ObjectInstance (value = "no-arg", constructorArgs = {})
 ObjectInstance (value = "a", constructorArgs = {"someAValue"})
 ObjectInstance (value = "ab", constructorArgs = {"someAValue", "someBValue"})
