Future of 'type-annotations/type-annotations' forest

[Jonathan Gibbons]

I doubt that JSR 198 would help you.  It is too IDE-focussed and not 
enough compiler-focussed.

At some point it would be interesting to look at the Checker Framework 
with a view to figuring out the extra info you need from the AST and 
supporting API.
