A couple of months late to this discussion, but I thought I'd throw in my 2¢: annotations are pretty important for more things than just filling in deficiencies in Java.
For example, SIP Servlets 1.1 — finalized in August 2008 — actively discourages the use of deployment descriptor entries in favor of annotations, and some annotations have capabilities beyond those easily available through code (for example, a JEE bean can seamlessly get a reference to a SIP factory without having to manually retrieve one from a directory, whilst a SIP servlet itself retrieves a local factory). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
