Screen-Scraper Annotations for Java

One of the primary design goals of screen-scraper from the very beginning has been to emphasize extensibility.  We’ve tried to build in a number of features and tools to make screen-scraping easier, but we also realize that we can’t fit it all in.  Features such as the internal scripting engine and the ability to invoke screen-scraper from external applications allow it to be extended according to the whims of the developer.

Recently astute scraper Rodney Aiglstorfer came up with an excellent way to link data extracted within screen-scraper to custom-built classes.  He’s dubbed it “Screen-Scraper Annotations for Java”, and you can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/ssa4j/.  Rodney’s been good enough to release the library under an open source license, so others can benefit as well.
