Re: [Mono-list] Java and C#

The attributes in java have some differences from .net:

- they are called annotations
- they can be RUNTIME or SOURCE_ONLY
- they are interfaces
- the SOURCE_ONLY  annotations can be applied to local variables

I suspect that there is no way to add attributes in Java.  Microsoft's
Visual J# permits the use of Attributes (IIRC), but it's through their
Visual J++ syntax -- through a specially formed JavaDoc comment. 
Something like (from memory):

	/**
	 * @attribute-name (args...)
	 */
	public void myMethod () {/* ... */}

Of course, that's compiler specific, and no standard Java compiler will
support that.  So when it comes to attributes, you're probably up the
creek.

Maybe when ikvm supports Java 'Tiger' 1.5, that has attributes added to
the language (well sort-of, because it resembles the Visual J# way...).

My two cents,
