Tutorial Details:
With J2SE 5, the Java team has taken Java's metadata capability to a new level. The concept is formally called annotations. In addition to the built-in annotations included in Version 5, you can also use custom annotations that you define to decorate types (such as classes, interfaces, and enums), methods and constructors, and fields. You can control the availability of these annotations as well. For example, some annotations may be available only in the source code; others may be available in the compiled class files as well. Some annotations may even be available during runtime in the JVM.
