> Annotations for easier extension
> --------------------------------
>
>                 Key: THRIFT-3818
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3818
>             Project: Thrift
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Java - Compiler, Java - Library
>            Reporter: Tom Davis
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, there are two ways to extend a Java implementation of a Thrift spec: modify the compiler source code or write classes that wrap the existing Java library. The former requires maintaining a fork of Thrift while the latter doesn't allow meaningful changes to, e.g., struct or service classes.
> I propose modifying the compiler to include additional annotations to Thrift types ({{ThriftService}}, {{ThriftStruct}}, etc.) This change would allow much easier extension of generated classes through the use of annotation processors. Happy to supply a patch if it's a desirable improvement. Thanks!
