[xmlvm-users] Annotations on Java members do not affect cross compiled JavaScript?

[Robert E. <ro...@li...>]

Hi,

I've been digging around in XMLVM primarily from the perspective of being interested in writing client side browser code in Java, and it's very impressive.  As far as I can see annotating a member of a Java class with a runtime retention annotation makes no difference whatsover to the resulting JavaScript - is that correct?  Is that in inherent limitation of JavaScript, or just something that is not yet supported?  If the latter, is it on the road map in any form?

A closer look suggests that actually neither the java.lang.annotation nor the java.lang.reflect packages are implemented in xmlvm2js, which I guess would make runtime retained annotations useless anyway as there would be no mechanism to interrogate them.  Any possibility of this happening?

Thanks for any thoughts,
Rob
