How did Java programmers survive before annotations? -


before introduction of annotations in java, how same functionality achieved?

such huge portion of every day in java involves annotations can't imagine program without them.

what alternative way of achieving same functionality without annotations?

  • xdoclet - code generator takes information java source code , custom javadoc tags.
  • marker interfaces serializable
  • naming conventions (test methods in junit)
  • and yes, lots of xml config files. glad haven't had live those.
