baggage.
I've never liked the compile time aspect of annotations.
I wanted my annotations toolable but not part of the compile process.

I am writing a step by step tutorial for XDoclet

Since the tutorial is

My opinion, EJB 2.0 CMP CMR is more mature than JDO. Most JDO implementation
"don't fully implement the JDO spec. yet".
