If not, when will it be?

No it's not fixed yet, and the problem is on the syntax level:

I'm currently working on named arguments, I hope they will be in 2.8.0.

Good to know that the old language designer's battle cry "but it is
only syntax!" still applies :-). So I guess I should not hold my breath
and instead try to design my JPA code so that it will not need nested
annotations. You can get quite far by relying on default naming conventions,
but explicitly modeling many-to-many relations with composite keys gets
hairy. (Admittedly, that seems to be a weak point of JPA in general).

Good luck, then.
