Interesting.....

looked at their JAX-RS example:

https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/blob/master/samples/java-jaxrs/src/main/java/com/wordnik/swagger/sample/resource/PetStoreResource.java

and noticed @ApiOperation annotation, which I saw inside of the
RedHat/JBoss code as well.
(didn't bother with the packages at that time)

Now... looking at the actual annotation, I see that Heiko ([1]) is
contributing to it :)

So, yes - let's take a look at swagger for documenting our APIs!!
