Annotation based error-decoder

Hello - I looked around a while ago for an annotation based error decoder and couldn’t really find one - so I wanted to see the apetite for one?

If it sounds interesting, I can clone the repo, create a new module under it (thoughts on naming?) and put something good in there for review?

Basically - it would be managed via 2 annotations: @ErrorDecoding which would take a few parameters, including a second annotation named something to the effect of @ErrorCodes (the idea being that multiple error codes could still map to the same annotation).

So basically, in your interface you’d annotate your method (or class) with something like: @ErrorDecoding { @ErrorCodes { [401, 403], mapTo = UnauthenticatedOrUnauthorizedException.class }}

Then - you’d just pass it into the Feign.Builder via the ErrorDecoder as a new AnnotationBasedErrorDecoder or something to that effect.

Thoughts?

Cleaning up left behind ticket. The decoder was developed/added way back when.
