In Java annotations are first class objects. You can put behaviour and state on them. In Smalltalk you can't do this.

that��s why I was suggesting to make them objects instead simple selectors. but seems that people is scared :)

Can be interesting for others:

Java SE 8 allows type annotations anywhere that a type is used. Previously, annotations were only allowed on definitions.
