I remember a few discussion where something like that has been

I don't think that a shared project is required. You could add the annotation to the
main
source tree. If the retention is source you just have to exclude it from the generated
jar.
However, as said in my previous email, I am wondering whether to make this really useful
for users, the retention would need to be runtime. In this case one would almost have to
add
the annotation to the project sources, since we would otherwise create a new runtime
dependency.
