Dumping the entire source code for a file rather then subsets has the advantage that correct licensing, javadoc and attribution information could trivially travel along with the generated binary class file. Dalibor- There is currently no way to place an annotation on a "source file". You could only annotate the individual classes found within it. In that case, I would think it surprising to find that the annotation contains source for all the classes, imports, and comments in the same source file.

Thanks, Neal - that's a very good point. Would Package be a more useful target for it?

cheers, dalibor topic
