Lots of good content :) Guys, Just to inject a little insanity into the debate... we've touched on the idea of obtaining information in unorthodox ways before (parameter names come to mind). Now, this proceeds from the assumption that a given Java compiler would assemble bytecode such that visible annotations would stay in the order in which they were defined, but given that that is true for one or more available compilers, what is the feeling of the community toward specifying that order be derived from bytecode inspection? I realize this is quite specific, but in the end nothing is more intuitive than just using the annotations in the order in which they are actually specified.
