Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-1242:
------------------------------------------
Cannot tell, whether ignoring all @scr.* annotations unless the @scr.component
annotation is present is correct or wrong. We started off saying -- for
simplicity reasons mainly -- that the @scr.component annotation on class level
is the one indicator whether a class is to be looked at as a component.
Only later was support for abstract base components added but the requirement
to have a @scr.component tag was never removed.
I think, it is probably not a big backwards compatibility issue, if we start
supporting classes without @scr.component tags to be used as components.

>
> in certain situations java classes contain only field-level SCR annotations
> (i.e. abstract classes where the real @Component annotations is defined on
> subclasses).
> in this case, the existing of annotations is not detecting in this class,
> resulting in ignoring field-level annotations in this abstract class.
> the patch attached [^090616_detectannotationfix.patch] fixes this problem.
