IIRC, PXE was originally using javadoc comments for the generation, XDoclet style (remember how that was all the rage back then :) ). When Java annotations came out, the generation has been changed to use apt. Note that in this case, interfaces that are necessary to write and compile code are generated, so in contrary to a lot of other annotations use it's not runtime information. The type safety was an important part of the design as I recall it.
