Hi,
Speaking of a "custom AnnotationReader to read annotations from an
external file", this might be the right approach for handling Java
sources the user cannot annotate. We had a discussion a few days ago
about marshalling JRE classes such as classes Point or Dimension in
java.awt package. For example, how can we specify that we'll use
attributes rather than elements? In the case of "non-annotable" classes,
some external file could be the answer.
Just my 2 cents
