We used to have a proxy mode feature for exactly this problem. You would 
set a sys prop and it would generate dynamic proxies implementing the 
the source code locales. This was quite a bit slower than the compile 
generated classes so it was intended to be develop mode only. The idea 
was that you just set it in your IDE settings and be done with it.

It turns out it wasnt used very much, and it relied on runtime 
annotation retention, so it was killed. If enough people felt it was a 
problem though we could revisit that.

What do you think?
