This is not YET ANOTHER metamodel. This is THE metamodel, i.e. the one we
use natively. All other metamodels are "transformed" into it.
1) An annotation byself is meaningless.
e.g. the security domain annotation describes that I want a security domain
The metamodel of the MC also describes that, but additionally says exactly you
go about satisfying it.
2) As developers we don't want to deal with multiple sources of metadata.
It is the responsiblity of the deployers to turn their own domain specific
metadata
into our single model.
3) By transformed I don't mean it necessarily has to do some xml transform or
create objects. It could just be a simple wrapper:
| public Object getMetaData(...)
| {
| return resolveAnnotation(...);
| }
