Personally, I don't like the idea of forcing the users to support JSR-175
attributes. They have to be interfaces, you can't have more than one of each
type per class/method, besides the fact you need the attribute class to make
your app run. There's been a lot of discussions about this in the Java
community and I don't think there's been a consensus about it.

Optional support for generating 100% JSR-175 annotations using JDK 1.4 would
be great, though.
