Annotation Interface Patches

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(TYPE) public @interface Patches
Classes with this annotation will be set up to patch a different class. Name your patch like your target class (including the package) and make sure this class is loaded before the target. Do not patch classes that are backed by a DB: the modifications that they will be subjected to might confuse an ORM and lead to data loss.
