A Metadata Facility for the Java Programming Language, commonly referred to as JSR 175, is a specification for Java developed through the Java Community Process defining an API for annotating fields, methods, and classes as having particular attributes that indicate they should be processed in special ways by development tools, deployment tools, or run-time libraries.

JSR 175 was released as a part of J2SE 5.0 (Tiger).
