Pattern Enforcing Compiler

I think the group might find this open source project on java.net
interesting.

A Pattern Enforcing Compiler™ (PEC™) For Java™
A pattern enforcing compiler (PEC) allows classes to be marked as
having a given design pattern, e.g. Singleton. The PEC then checks
that the marked class conforms to the pattern and issues an error
message if it does not, thus the pattern checking is much like type
checking. The PECs downloadable from this site require no new syntax
and therefore they can be used with existing: editors, IDEs, pretty
printers, etc. The downloadable PECs are extensible and therefore as
well as using the supplied patterns a programmer can write their own
patterns and have the PEC enforce these

used in a large application. Patterns fortunately are abstract
solutions to a related set of problems, though a single pattern might
have hundreds of different reifications. It seems like the compiler
forces you into some standard or common pattern reification, with
their own naming conventions, etc... So again, I'm not bashing it,
but rather saying that it might be useful for learning.

learning tool seems high. I wonder if this could also be leveraged in
a QA or code review capacity.
