If Immutable does not have RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME then there is no easy way to 
test for immutability.

I've been writing a Test-by-Contract JUnit system which would be able to test 
for Immutability, but this is dependent upon @Immutable, and perhaps a few 
other annotations, being available at runtime.

JSR107 needs a runtime annotation for classes that are @Immutable for the 
specific case mentioned.

Because JSR305 doesn't have any timeframe for completion, it's likely a 
different one will be defined as part of JSR107 that will have 
RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME
