I don't think it's useful *for us* - I think it could be useful for
people that are using us (i.e. as documentation via metadata and for
tools).
However - the retention on these is runtime - so would that add
another dependency to using JSecurity. I don't think they're valuable
enough to add a dependency. I'd rather hope that these annotations
inspire adding this type of thing to the JDK.

These annotations are purely metadata that describes the way your

were written (i.e. I'm declaring that this method is or isn't
threadsafe)
By declaring this metadata in a standard format, it's obvious to
people
using your code if your code is threadsafe or not - it can also be
used by
tools.

It is an interesting idea for sure, but how would we enforce this?
Currently the project has no notion of inspecting threads at
runtime. I
mean we could I suppose, but there is nothing currently. Any ideas?

Having a common language for describing the thread-safety intentions
of a class is a big plus IMO.
