Indeed we should follow it closely. Besides, they'll define the metadata
language additions (which may be @tags still) and there will need to be
tools to process them - XDoclet is already there, of course - primed and
ready for whatever they could possibly define.
With Joshua Bloch as the lead (author of Essential Java, a must have!) I
have no doubt that it will be done right. (Wasn't he on the preferences and
collections teams also, and probably others?)

Subject: RE: [Xdoclet-user] Java meta-data JSR from Sun
It's hard to tell what they might be cooking, as the JSR hasn't published
any documentation yet. They're talking about a language extension (� la the
lame assertion mechanism they introduced in 1.4), so this will under no
circumstances happen before JDK 1.5.
This is definitely a result of XDoclet's success and an attempt to match
.NET's attribute support. We should follow this one closely...
