James Perkins commented on LOGTOOL-144:
---------------------------------------

What is the meta information you're looking for? There is overhead with having the retention policy of runtime as the JVM needs to store that information. While I haven't measured the difference I assume this adds to metaspace since it needs to retain the annotation and all the information associated with it.

> Hi,
> We have a use case where we are creating a Java proxy to access meta information of a logger. In this scenario we need to access the `@Message` and `@MessageLogger` annotations at runtime. This is not possible as there retention policy is set to `@Retention(CLASS)`.
> Do you see any problem/value into changing the retention policy to runtime for all annotations in JBoss logging ?
> Thanks
