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

Looking further it would seem that the xmlvm representation doesn't store any such annotation based data either.  Just trying to get a feel for what is and isn't possible.

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?
