If we're going to define a new annotation with this much visibility then
we should at least take the time to inventory the JDK-specific APIs that
we have, and those we reasonably expect to have in the near future, to
understand how many distinct levels are useful.
I didn't see any replies to this but I'm willing to do an inventory. We
need this for our modularity work anyway and I think we already have a
good handle on most of what is in the com.sun hierarchy. There are also
a few APIs, com.apple for example, where I'm actually interesting in
establishing their status as they came in without too much discussion.
I did just notice that the annotation's source file is in the langtools
repo rather than the jdk repo. What's the rationale for that? I think
most JDK developers would expect to find it in the jdk repo.
This is just build related as there are "supported" APIs in the
langtools repository. I see Joe has added the already added the proposed
annotation to com.sun.source.
