title: Is there a Dot Net System.Attribute equivalent in Java?
body: <p>Ok. this question goes to all who can program java and .NET.</p>
  
  <p>In .NET there is the class <code>System.Attribute</code> which allows the user to extend the reflection information with custom meta info data.</p>
  
  <p>The question: Is there a similar class/mechanism in java and how is it called? Post links to any tutorial, that'd be great!</p>
  
  <p>I need custom meta info for Methods, Classes and method arguments. Is that possible in java?</p>
