well - come to think of it..the sames goes for javadoc comments....i think xdoclet already is parsing this stuff to get it before compile time...so, I would reckon they could just as easy fetch out the JSR 175 tags..
Actually I don't think using JSR-175 metadata in XDoclet will be so easy, because to use the Metadata-API you need the compiled class files and compiling the class files is often not possible without running XDoclet before (not for Hibernate but easily for EJBs for example). So i really think providing metadata support is the tools job, eg. metadata would be a replacement for mapping files - which I thing would be rather cool.
