Grégory Joseph updated MAGNOLIA-3518:
-------------------------------------
Description:
With additions being made to the module descriptor, it's becoming obvious that
we could generate module descriptors. Most of the current information is
redundant with the pom (or deducible), and most new information (components,
...) can be derived from analyzing the sources. (annotations, interfaces)
Such a Maven plugin should ideally "merge" with a possibly existing module
descriptor, so that one could still manually set some information in a module
descriptor (properties, perhaps). OTOH, the plugin configuration will probably
allow setting such values, so maybe that's not needed at all.
Deriving module name: use artifactId, if prefixed by {{magnolia-module-}},
remove prefix.
Finding components: we could use APT (Annotation Processor Tool:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/apt/GettingStarted.html -
there's actually a Maven plugin: http://mojo.codehaus.org/apt-maven-plugin/) to
find {{@Component}}. Marking some of our interfaces with it might even reduce
the need for the annotation (i.e we could mark {{ObservedManager}} with such an
annotation)
