Hi all,

Has anyone come across documentation

<programming> The multiple kilograms of macerated, pounded,
	steamed, bleached, and pressed trees that accompany most
	modern software or hardware products (see also {tree-killer}).
	Hackers seldom read paper documentation and (too) often resist
	writing it; they prefer theirs to be terse and {on-line}.  A
	common comment on this predilection is "You can't {grep} dead
	trees".

	See {drool-proof paper}, {verbiage}, {treeware}.

that thoroughly describes metadata
functionality that will be available in JDK

<language, compiler> (JDK) A free {Sun Microsystems} product
	which provides the {environment} required for programming in
	{Java}.  The JDK is available for a variety of {platforms},
	but most notably {Sun Solaris} and {Microsoft Windows}.

	{Home (http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/index.html)}.

1.5? I only saw some brief
examples of what it's supposed to do, and I downloaded JDK, but I can not find
any docs. Any pointers?

Do you mean annotations? As fare as I know, you've to look in the
corresponding JSR.

BTW: Please do not post to so many groups (several of them unofficial).
One would've been enough. F-up set.

Could not find anything there.... I will try again.> BTW: Please do not post to so many groups (several of them unofficial).

This kind of cross-posting is usually not a problem with many
newsreaders,
though. Though it's hard to figure out where one'd find an answer:
comp.lang.JAVA.programmer, comp.lang.JAVA.developer -- I mean, are not
comp.lang.* groups for programmers/developers by definition? :-)

F-up set???
