Finally, (and please excuse my ignorance of annotations), is it feasible
to introduce an annotation without adding any compile time dependencies?
I don't think so. And as we're targetting Wicket 1.3 for JDK 1.4 and
up, annotations are out of the question for us.
You can actually use annotations on pre-1.5 JRE's, as long as you
don't mind to have compilation postprocessing pass. I.e. either using
backport175 [1] or commons attributes [2].
