Annotations for All!

by Alex Handy 04/01/2010 02:40 PM EST

You know you want to use some of these annotations. Now that Google has compiled them all into one library, you can! The Google Annotations Gallery includes all the annotations you'll ever need, from @thishadbetternotbe to @Animalsharmedduringthemaking. Of course, our favorites are the literary annotations.

@Alliteration
Peck pickledPeppers = peterPiper.pick();

@Haiku
public void checkNodes() {
  if (tree.hasAnyLeafNodes()) {
    freshenLeavesOn(tree);
  }
}

@HapaxLegomenon
public interface Honorificabilitudinitatibus {
  void achieve(Honour honour);
}

@Metaphor
public interface Life extends Box<Chocolate> {
}

@Meter(TROCHAIC)
public abstract double axisOffset();

@Oxymoron
public interface DisassemblerFactory {
  Disassembler createDisassembler();
}

@Palindrome
Event e = gala.get(n, EVE);

@Synecdoche
Network fiber = NetworkFactory.createNetwork();
