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?

Annotations are mapped to XMLVM (the internal XML format used for 
representing byte codes) but apart from Objective-C, no other backends 
are making use of them. The main focus has been on the Objective-C 
backend. The JavaScript backend is 'dormant' in terms of active 
development and as you've noticed also does not support many classes 
from J2SE.
