I don't think that a shared project is required. You could add the annotation to the main source tree. If the retention is source you just have to exclude it from the generated jar. However, as said in my previous email, I am wondering whether to make this really useful for users, the retention would need to be runtime. In this case one would almost have to add the annotation to the project sources, since we would otherwise create a new runtime dependency. --Hardy _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
