You're right.  It's fairly trivial as in OpenJDK all parsing of the
annotation data is done in Java.  The VM just needs to attach the
bytes somehow to the annotated class, method or field without too much
overhead (remembering that most classes have no annotations).
Unfortunately how annotations wer stored in JamVM was pretty dreadful,
so I've spent the weekend re-working it!

Thanks,
Rob.

omewhere without too much overhead
