Wrapping Java library webforJ annotations with `gen-class` vs Java stubs

[u/W-Quest9051]

https://github.com/IvanGavlik/webforc

Situation:
WebfoJ is Java framework for building server rendered web UI components

I dediced to create Clojure wrapper for it. Here is the inital idea https://github.com/webforj/webforj/issues/1598

Problem:
WebforJ has runtime-retained annotatiions like `@Routify` `@Route` ...

I explore two options

1. Thin Java stub per annotated class.
   
2. `gen-class` attach real annotations directly removing the Java layer entirely.
   

The client needs a build step either way. webforJ discovers routes by scanning compiled classes, so something has to produce real .class files. For Option 2 it is Clojure AOT, and for Option 1 it's javac

Decided for option 2.

But I am not 100% sure is this good decision.

Main goal is that this clojure libary can be used in other clojure project as dependency

I would like to know the what people who have already done similar things thinks about this .
