Thanks - my interest is not so much on history, more on what are the plans for this, is it a 'stable/frozen' API, and if so - some javadocs to clarify how to use/implement it.
My goal is to add annotations to tomcat-lite - and also just understand the implementation. For example the injection of non-annotated fields - what is the intention, is it based on any spec - or I'm just not understanding the code ? I want to try a more pluggable mechanism ( in sandbox - no worry :-) - i.e. callbacks when each 'object of interest' is created (which can also hook into JMX and maybe other frameworks like guice/spring/etc), more extensible annotation support, etc. The package name is the other big question - I didn't know we ( or geronimo ) could use org.apache for our classes. But moving it would probably break stuff outside of tomcat - and I assume the intention is to share it.
