> Google released Contract for Java - http://code.google.com/p/cofoja/ - which is a Java implementations for Design by Contract. Googles version uses a set of annotations, an annotation processor and a runtime java agent (see their documentation).
> We have all the pieces for doing this as well.
> * We have the constraint annotations 
> * We have an annotation processor (obviously it does something else now, but we know how to write one)
> * And we have Byteman
> I wonder whether we couldn't put these things together and create our own Contract for Java.
