Useful Java Annotations
- by Jon
I'm interested in finding out exactly which Java annotations people think are most useful during development. This doesn't necessarily have to limited to the core Java API, you may include annotations you found in third party libraries or annotations you've developed yourself (make sure you include a link to the source).
I'm really interested in common development tasks rather than knowing why the @ManyToOne(optional=false) in JPA is awesome...
Include the annotation and a description of why it's useful for general development.
