Could you please provide your point of view regarding several annotations we have in our code?

The main reason for these annotations is in order to provide additional semantic integrity, something which can be obtained in C++ via typedefs.

In Java, it is provided by JSR-308 which, in fact, is even more powerful than what cpp compiler provides when typedefs are employed.
