Well, annotations and Javadoc tags both serve the same purpose - they add descriptive information to *.java files which can be used by various software processors in different ways. However annotations constitute a change in the Java language. Javac now understands them and can make them available during run-time, for instance. Since there are 2 ways of doing the same thing it seems that developers, and Java developers as a whole, would make better use of their time and money if they focused on one. Since Javadoc tags are an ‘ad hoc’ solution and Annotations are a part of the language, I would think that the future for this kind of development would revolve around Annotations.
