Article on Annotations in Tiger (J2SE 5.0)

Annotations, a new feature in J2SE 5.0 (Tiger), brings a much-needed metadata facility to the core Java language. In this first of a two-part series, author Brett McLaughlin explains why metadata is so useful, introduces you to annotations in the Java language, and delves into Tiger's built-in annotations. Part 2 covers custom annotations.

Yeah, but no one can describe how to use the "apt" tool in a reasonable situation. Is there no way to have apt cycle down through source code and check every class. I realize this is too much to ask Sun. From my perspective, custom annotations are completely useless if I have to hand feed apt every friggin source file.

Looks like if I want to use this, I have to go back to the good old days of putting every .java file into a file and passing in my file of files.

This must be the nostalgia release of apt.

annotations are evil anyway and shouldn't be used.So making them hard to use is a good way to make sure they're not overused :)
