Annotation Type Step

@Documented
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface Step

An alternate way of defining steps. Classes annotated with "Step" are automatically recognized and registered as a step. Important: The XML definitions alienate annotated steps and the two methods of definition are therefore mutually exclusive.
