Marshaling Annotations

It would be helpful to have annotations to mark up POJOs for Transit, and an the associated Reader/Writer implementations, in the style of Jackson Annotations.

I've been reading and writing POJOs with Transit with runtime reflection on the getters and setters (using commons beanutils), but that solution isn't as flexible when it comes to things overriding the introspected name of a field, and overriding the class's Transit tag.

This is the kind of construct I am thinking of:

@TransitTagged("com.example.SamplePojo")
public class SamplePojo {

    private String name = "John";
    private int age = 21;
    private String nonExposedField = "...";

    @TransitField("person-name")
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    // no annotation, default to reflection
    public int getAge() {
        return age;
    }
    public void setAge(int age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    @TransitIgnore
    public String getNonExposedField() {
      return this.nonExposedField;
    }
}

Start by reviewing the existing POJO reflection approach using commons beanutils and the Transit Reader/Writer implementations. Define how the proposed TransitTagged, TransitField, and TransitIgnore annotations should affect class tags, field names, and exposed properties; done means the annotation API and associated Reader/Writer behavior are implemented and verified.
