These are not quite as built-in as I thought.  You have to install
them with a rather grim process.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/annotations.html#CHECKER
for links to the bits you will need to try them out.

They are called Checker-Framework from the University of Washington.

It is just astounding what they are doing with annotations at compile
time.

Before Java, I mainly coded in Forth and Abundance (a Forth
extension).  There you can use the same coding language for compile
time as run time.  

Java seemed so hobbled by its complete lack of compile time
computation. You could not even embed a compile date or use alternate
libraries. Java seems to be evolving nicely.
