I don't think that a shared project is required. You could add the annotation 
to the main
source tree. If the retention is source you just have to exclude it from the 
generated jar.
However, as said in my previous email, I am wondering whether to make this 
really useful
for users, the retention would need to be runtime. In this case one would 
almost have to add
the annotation to the project sources, since we would otherwise create a new 
runtime
dependency.
