The '''Metadata Facility for Java''' is a specification for [[Java (programming language)|Java]] that defines an [[API]] for [[annotation|annotating]] [[field (computer science)|fields]], [[method (computer science)|methods]], and [[class (computer science)|classes]] as having particular attributes that indicate they should be processed in special ways by [[development tool]]s, deployment tools, or [[library (computer science)|run-time libraries]].
 
The specification was developed under the [[Java Community Process]] as JSR 175, and was released as a part of [[J2SE]] 5.0 (Tiger).
