Description:

One of the most important JSRs in the JDK 1.5
release (and, arguably, in Java's history) is
the Metadata specification, JSR 175, which will
permit Java library developers to define
"attributes", bits of Java code that can be
annotated to just about any part of the Java
programming model--classes, packages, methods,
fields, and so on. In this talk, hear what the
JSR covers--and what it doesn't cover--along
with syntax and usage model from one of the
members of the Expert Group working to define it.
