If you happen to create your own annotations, for instance to use with Java 6 Pluggable Annotation Processors, here are some patterns that I collected over time. Nothing new, nothing fancy, just putting everything into one place, with some proposed names.
Patterns express intents
sept 6th, 2009
Patterns represent a couple (intent, solution); sometime they refer to a solution, more often they essentially represents an intent, independently of its solution. Sometimes the solution part of patterns includes a trick or a workaround to overcome the limits of a language, but patterns cannot be reduced to that trick. Indeed, a very important role [...]

What is Self-Descriptiveness? Self-Descriptiveness is a property of any system that is able to describe itself with no external help. Just ask it « describe yourself » and it [...]

Fowler defines it: whoNeedsArchitect « In most successful software projects, the expert developers working on that project have a shared understanding of the design system design. This shared understanding is called ‘architecture.’ ». However for most people the word « architecture » comes full of middleware [...]

With Object-Oriented programming we often have many classes, therefore it is really important to name them well. It’s amazing how I can spend so much time searching for good names for classes, and I do think it is worth doing it well, after all naming is all about making the code easy to read and [...]
