ISSUE 1: Intent annotations

[Bryan Aupperle <aupperle@us.ibm.com>]

To start the discussion on this issue
I have taken the Policy Annotation section from the Java API/Annotation
spec and modified it for C++.  I am sure there are a number of points
that need discussion, but I want to get the dialog going.


One the thing to note.  The policy
framework already adds reliability and miscellaneous intents and is working
on transaction intents.  None of these are currently in the Java spec,
 but I suspect they will be added.

Subject	[sca-c-cpp] NEW ISSUE: Intent annotations

Title: Annotations are needed to specify intents 

Target: C++ Client and Implementation Model/C++ Annotations

Description:  The policy framework defines a way for intents to be
attached to various SCA constructs including interfaces and operations.
 These intents can be attached in the SDCL using a requires attribute.
 There is no way for a C++ developer to define required intents without
authoring SCDL directly. 

Proposal:  Add an @Requires annotation that can be used with interfaces
and methods.  This annotation would include a list of intents to be
applied.  We may also want some additional specific annotations like
@Conversational.
