Annotations are a Java innovation.

Edit: this is not correct. My bad.

C# Attributes were introduced in .NET 1.0. Released in 2002. Betas were available already during 2001.

Java annotations started to be discussed in 2002, with JSR-175, finally delivered with Java 1.5, released in 2004.

So how come it is a Java innovation?
