Vaadin declarative Grid caption via Annotations

While browsing through the source for Vaadin 7.6.1 i recognized, that there is no way of defining a column header based on an annotation, when using a BeanItemContainer<?>. Is there a way around this?

Imagine a simple CRUD application with 2 entity beans Foo and Bar:

public class Foo {
  private String interface_;
  private String uag;

  // Omitted getters / setters
  // ...
  }

public class Bar {
  private String forename;
  private String lastname;


  // Omitted getters / setters
  // ...
  }

When passing this beans to a BeanItemContainer<?> it creates magically deep inside Vaadin following column headers:

Is there a way around this and name generated properties after an Annotation for example? Is there a reason why this is not implemented? Just for curiosity.

The item properties in the BeanItemContainer are determined automatically by inspecting the getter and setter methods of the class.

As far as I know there is no way to work with annotations for that case. You can define your getters/setters the way you like to control the property naming.
