Hi Tom,

JSR-308 is very interesting for our project because we are able to reach very 
strong type checking whilst producing small, fast, clear, organized and well 
documented code. More info at 
http://www.jquantlib.org/index.php/DeveloperCorner

In the future we will have to implement the annotation processor and cause 
compilation errors wherever necessary.

Thanks you
