:: Program Annotation Facility
Most Java programmers who have used the Java API reference are
familiar with the @deprecated within the comments of a Java
method. Some vendors and programmers have cleverly made use of

specific custom interpreters to do some routine tasks. Finally,
the annotation facility is being included into the J2SE 1.5
tiger release.
