I don't know how and when xdoclet will embrace JSR 175 but I can imagin they will stay stucked with (pre)compile-time generation. What is for sure is that annotation are metadata descriptions and thus very specific to Hibernate (type checking, default value etc). At least annocations definition have to be part of Hibernate and will certainly be the entry point of third party mapping builder tools (not only XDoclet). Second, annocations will be accessed at runtime (no compile time as xdoclet do) and this is good because we can have finer checking algorithm and won't have resource file in classpath headache.
