What's the recommended way to embed (c), version, TM, etc in a class file?

Hello,

I'd like to embed information such as Version #, TM, (c), etc. into my cass
files. I guess I can simply place these in a string in the .java file and
it will end up in the class file but I am wondeing if there is a
"better/recommended" way to do this. In the Microsoft C++ world there is a
"Resource file" that contains such information and it gets built into the
final binary executable. How's this done in the Java world?

Thanks,
Al,

You can either include it as strings in your source, or use a classfile
annotation

Hi Stefan,

I didn't know about classfile annotation. A web search reyurns only a meger
number of references but I can't find anything that actually describes this
or tells me how to implement it. Is this just a design concept/pattern or
is it genertaed by a tool. Would you be so kind as to give me a little more
information on this?

Thanks.
