Java Annotations simple error

I am newbie at Java EE and I have a simple problem. I created a project using Maven plugin's default directory structure and I want to annotate a class as @Loggable, but I get a

Loggable cannot be resolved to a type

error. Any annotation I want to use can't be resolved to a type. What's the problem? I suspect that it has to do with dependency or build path issues but I can seem to get it working.

You will have a list of dependencies in the pom.xml file of your maven project. Make sure the jar that has Loggable is listed as a dependency.

Read here how to do it.

Your import java.lang.annotation.*; will not help as Loggable is not in that namespace.

Maybe you should write this Annotation on your own. Read this to learn more.

You have to import annotation classes just like anything else. Use an IDE such as Eclipse; it will handle and many similar tasks for you automatically.
