Re: [xtext-dev] API

Hi,

I'd rather use these annotations as JavaDoc tags, for the following reasons:

1) The @deprecated JavaDoc tag allows us to tell developers what they are expected to do (like "use this and that other class / method) 2) If we later want to use the PDE API tooling or convince the PDE team to enhance the PDE API tooling to support our annotations, we should be compatible. As they are using JavaDoc tags, so should we. 3) If we introduce an annotation @org.eclipse.xtext.Stable, we have a tie-in to Xtext. We might want to use the same mechanism in Xpand, Xtend, etc. by using JavaDoc tags, we're more flexible.

Cheers,
Peter
