Yes. In Java 6 that's possible. You don't even need the second line:
http://code.google.com/p/morbok/
(I already posted that link in the description).

You might want to integrate something like Morbok in SLF4J.

This is not a hack at all by the way. 
A similar technique is used in the JPA 2.0 API:

(Metamodel API)

No, a classloader will not, but the annotation processor will.
This is integrated in Java 6:

I of agree. Specially with the 500 byte overhead.
