I don't really agree with the need for annotations, because the point is to statically type something that is originally plain text. If you have to write a class to annotate it, you might as well write the whole thing (unless you can use package-level annotations to say where the resource files are). I guess there could be several entry points to the core functionality (annotations, Maven, directly specifying input and output folders...).
