RuntimeAnnotation class is needed #32

Closed scabug closed 11 years ago

scabug commented 17 years ago

There should be a RuntimeAnnotation class which would allow new annotations with RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME to be created in Scala. Currently, these have to be written in Java and compiled in a separate step.

timowest said: What is the status of this ticket? Missing support for runtime retention can be a severe blocker for Scala adoption in companies. Needing to use Java sources for annotations makes it difficult to convince sceptics of Scala. Please consider adding it in the near future.

Also what are the challenges in the implementation? If this would be trivial to implement, it would probably already be available.

@soc said: I'm not sure if "won't fix" is the correct resolution for this then ("community", "grand-challenge").

@lrytz said: Also related to #7041 and the discussion in https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/1924. I'm actually not at all convinced that "RuntimeAnnotation class is needed".
