Yes, but that wouldn't make the attribute global. I just had a quick look on the
Annotation Processing Tool (APT) available in Java. This tool will run an
annotation processor over some specified Java files. It will then generate a new
set of files with the result of the annotation process. In the annotation
processor you have to specify what annotations you want to process. You can
either specify you want to process all annotations, "*", or a single annotation,
"foo.bar.Baz".

I believe that does have the essential effect of making the attribute global.
