Just to clarify this. The entire annotation interface is deprecated -> no new project should use it. Instead they should use MI and help improve that interface where necessary. While projects might find that the level-one annotations work, they need to remember that the mechanism they are relying on is deprecated and, consequently, is receiving little of any attention. I don't know about you, but if my project was in this situtation I'd be doing everything possible to move away from annotations and towards MI. Andrew
