Will other tools find this code? E.g. I think javadoc is source-based, and I don't know if it will invoke such annotations. I would expect the annotation spec to require it, for annotations that can create methods etc, but I'm just not that familiar with the spec.
BTW: great presentation video: showing the problem, showing the solution, showing how to get started. It might seem like overkill, but that's the way to sell stuff (though this one seems to be under the MIT license, ie free).
