Just thinking out loud about possible usages, inspirations for ideas..
-
Creation of descriptor files - benefits over xDoclet?
-
Stub generation - 'WebMethods'
-
Look at current set of xDoclet tags, which would benefit from run-time discovery.
-
How are attributes used in Visual J++/Visual J#
-
Attributes as used in 'NUnit' but for Java. (original motivation of the whole project!)
-
Attributes for version of the class @attribute Version("1.3.4")
-
Attribute for generic hashmap of key/value pairs @attribute HashMap("key","value") other setters for including more data.
-
any relation to using these tags to insert not just custom attributes but 'cross-cutting' code as well. relationship with aspect programing.
