Chetan Mehrotra commented on FELIX-3550:
----------------------------------------

Had the annotations been not compile time one could have used ASM ClassVisitor 
support similar to what is used by Maven Plugin Plugin to generate plugin xml 
[1]. It also allows one to use same infrastructure with non java languages like 
Groovy as bytecode becomes the source of truth.

>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: Maven SCR Plugin
>            Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
>            Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
>             Fix For: maven-scr-plugin-1.8.0, scr ant task 1.2.0, scr 
> generator 1.2.0, scr annotations 1.7.0
>
>
> The current implementation of the maven scr plugin and generator has grown 
> over time and is very complex. It makes a lot of assumptions about hidden 
> datastructures. This is partially due to the use of QDox in the beginning of 
> the plugin
> As we drop the support for javadoc annotations, we can also drop qdox and 
> clean up the implementation
> This also makes developing new features easier
