Feature Release 2.4.0 - Schema Parsing, Validation Annotations, Proxy Generation Tool

The newest release of Anno4j supports:

• Schema Parsing: The library can now parse an RDF Schema File / OWL Lite File in order to generate respective Java POJOs to be used with Anno4j.
• Validation Annotations: Java Annotations, oriented to the OWL Lite standardisation, can now be added to Anno4j classes. These requirements will be tested when objects of the respective class are to be created. These Annotations are automatically generated, when a OWL Lite Schema File is parsed by the library.
• Proxy Generation Tool: When class hierarchies get big, performance issue might arise when instance objects are to be created. The Proxy Generation Tool takes as input the set of Anno4j classes and creates a proxy set of those classes, which then can be added to the classpath of the project in order to accelerate this process.

For further information about the described new features, please refer to the Anno4j Wiki.
