The annotated element must be a number whose value must be higher or
equal to the specified minimum.

Supported types are:

    
BigDecimal
    
BigInteger
    
byte, short, int, long, and their respective wrappers
 Note that double and float are not supported due to rounding errors (some providers might provide some approximative support). 
 null elements are considered valid.
