I have done up a quick and dirty one using JDK proxies, that seems to work ok (all my XML config tests pass and most of the code was stolen from AnnotationLiteral). The class that creates the proxy: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stuart-baileyroberts/jbraze/trunk/annotate/h... The InvocationHandler: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stuart-baileyroberts/jbraze/trunk/annotate/h... To create an instance you go AnnotationCache.getAnnotation(MyAnnotation.class,memberValues); where memberValues is a<String,Object> map of the annotations member values.
