Which is the finest example of cut-and-paste template I've seen for long :)

I do not fancy the anonymous class trick.  I like the class name better, and
some day I'll make Eclipse do it for me.  Right now I'm happily typing it every
time.

I looked into this a while back.  Basically annotations are metadata, so you
need SOMETHING that will do something with it for this to happen.  A normal
classloader will NOT.

I am at the moment trying to use Google Guice - which provides dependency
injection - and it has built in support for JUL.
