Some working code would make it a lot easier to understand *exactly* what you're looking for. Do you think you could post a few quick methods on github? If memory serves, the reflections package should be a good place to start.
However, you'd need to ask *why* you need this. If the answer is "I need to work with and modify a pre-existing, pre- tested, needs-to-stay-in-production application", then this is a great idea. Clojrue should help you glue your components together. If your answer is "I'm making a brand new application", or "This is for a side project", this might be a bad approach. Annotations generally are used to make up for a weakness in the Java language. Some Clojure language features could probably do the job better * Dynamic Typing * First class functions * Sequence functions. such as map/reduce/filter etc. * Macros Specifically, I think Guice (and other DI tools) should be avoided. They are the antithesis of functional programming, and first class functions will make your life much easier. Try re-thinking about a problem in a functional style. I'm willing to bet that you'll have a solution that is easier to write, easier to test, and will scale better.
