Annotations are much more suitable for categorization. You can have more then one parallel classifications, and then use IDE to visualize code slice interesting in particular moment. Also see FEAT and ConcernMapper tools for Eclipse: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/labs/spl/projects/feat/ http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~martin/cm/ I agree with murphee.

I'm looking for a way to bring (visible) structure to classes. Besides, you can't do things like access control, inheriting and documenting as well when you would use annotations for this. I'm not a big fan anyway of 'using annotations for anything new in Java we come up with from now on'... Annotations could indeed be used to categorize methods; but that wasn’t my intention.
