Hi, I'm trying to write a plugin that'll allow me to issue an error
on the project when a certain parameter within a custom annotation
is invalid.

Thus preventing compilation. Like when @Override annotation
fails the compilation is prevented.

which extension-point should I use?

Cheers, Max.

You could write an annotation processor. Look at http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. jdt.doc.isv/guide/jdt_apt_getting_started.htm

Thanks, found it the other day,

to anyone who might want to do the same here's some info
about APT (Annotation Proccesing Toolkit) in eclipse:
http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/apt/index.html

And a great tutorial with practice-exercises from Eclipsecon2007
about APT can be found here:

Cheers, Max.
