This is an interesting feature, which shortens development time for clients, and prevents hard-to-find typos. But I have two questions:
(1) If I write a resource class that implements that interface, will it inherit the annotations?
(2) How does the framework handle MIME types?

Subject: Client proxy framework
Resteasy's client proxy frameork has been a very popular feature and in use for 6+ years. Basically it allows you to use JAX-RS annotations on the client side to create a typed client proxy. i.e.
@Path("/")
public interface MyService {
@GET
MyData getData(@QueryParam("param") String param);
@POST
Response postData(@FormParam("param") int param);
}
Then, you can take this interface and generate a client proxy:
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(); MyService service = client.proxy(MyService.class);
MyData data = service.getData("value");
There's other minor details involved, but do you get the gist? Again, this is a very popular feature and IMO, a very natural extension to the client api.
