This could be considered as a plug-in. In that case the gpl allows to
use non-gpl'd plug-ins as long as the communication is limited. See:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLAndPlugins

As I don't think we would really be covered by those limitations, the
other options would be to slightly modify the license of the Annotator
to allow for it as seen in: 

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#LinkingOverControlledInterface


Note that this is allowed in the LGPL but it is also a common addition
to the GPL. Other Free licenses such as EPL (Eclipse Public Library)
allow this kind of behavior.
