Re: [abc] Re: [abc-users] Schedule for annotations etc.

I think we can be more firm.

"We are actively involved with the ajc team in the design of AspectJ 5.
Regarding annotations, this is not very difficult to implement, and indeed
we already have done the lexer and parser to support these. Generics
require some substantial changes to the underlying Java compiler
(Polyglot), and we are working with the Polyglot team towards realising
those in the medium term. We don't have a definite schedule, but we're
talking no more than a few months."
