Having trouble using JAX-RS annotation in Kawa Scheme class

[Arvydas Silanskas]

Hi,

try specifying the annotation field explicitly, ie `(@Produces value:
(string[] "text/plain"))`. Test suite seems to have a test for this case
https://gitlab.com/kashell/Kawa/-/blob/master/testsuite/annotations1.scm#L33
. If this still doesn't work, perhaps try building and running the head
version from source.
