First of al let me start off by saying I think custom annotations can be used for this but i'm not totally sure.

I would like to have a set of annotations that I can decorate some test classes with. The annotations would allow me to configure the test for different environments. Example:

public class Atest extends BaseTest{ 
     private String env;

     @Login(environment=env)
     public void testLogin(){
     //do something
     }

     @SignUp(environment=env)
     public void testSignUp(){
     //do something
     }
}

The idea here would be that the login annotation would then be used to lookup the username and password to be used in the testLogin method for testing a login process for a particular environment.

So my question(s) is this possible to do with annotations? If so I have not been able to find a decent howto online to do something like this. Everything out there seems to be your basic here's how to do your custom annotations and a basic processor but I haven't found anything for a situation like this. Ideas?
