I always thought that type annotations would allow us to look via refection to annotations like
public class Foo { public Set< @NotNull String> names; } But looking at some tutorials like http://jaxenter.com/jsr-308-explained-java-type-annotations-49929.html it seems that these annotations are only "visible" to a compiler plug-in / processor. Am I right? If that turns out true that would suck as it would only be useful to static tools. I wish I had checked the spec earlier to influence it :( Emmanuel _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
