Hi Satou,
you may be right, I haven't read the SCJP 5 exam objectives. However I wonder that
Annotations is neither a topic in SCJP 5 nor in the K&B book.
Annotations is one of the big changes that make up Java 5 at all. The K&B book has no single
word on it. I'd expected at least one word why it's not covered in the book or why the exam does not cover it.
Maybe Bert has some hints why it dropped off.
Regards,
Darya
