@Retention(value=SOURCE)
 @Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface HTMLComponent

Generates factory method in class specified by className() that will return a component of requested type() which can later be embedded into Swing or JavaFX UI elements. When the factory method is called, it returns immediatelly and starts loading of the specified HTML page. Once the page is ready it calls back method annotated by this annotation to finish initialization. The method is supposed to make the page live, preferrably by using Model generated class and calling applyBindings() on it.
