Guillaume Sauthier commented on FELIX-3699:
-------------------------------------------

Isn't it possible to have some kind of mapping for handler annotations as well ?
I'm thinking about the Karaf @Command annotation that I would like to traet as 
a marker for including my own handler.

{noformat}
<configuration>
  <handlers>
    <handler>
      <annotation>javax.inject.Inject</annotation>
      <handler>my.company.atinject:atinject</handler>
    </handler>
  </handlers>
</configuration>
{noformat}

Could be even better if the maven based manipulator could use the maven 
components in order to provide all theses descriptions ?
We would have to provide an extension API for describing 
handlers/component-factories
{noformat}
<plugin>
  <!-- ... -->
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>my.company.ipojo<groupId>
      <artifactId>additional-handlers<artifactId>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</plugin>
{noformat}

Hmmm, maybe that's a bit outside the scope of this issue :) ?

> Custom components are well handled in iPOJO using the metadata.xml, for 
> example:
> <CustomComponent classname="MyClass" name="myCustomComponent">
>     <requires field="service"/>
> </CustomComponent>
> The custom component definition will, for example, add handlers and so on. It 
> works very well and is nice that iPOJO allows that kind of extensions. 
> But we can't declare a custom component by using annotations, for example 
> doing:
> @CustomComponent
> public class MyClass {...}
> It will be a nice if iPOJO allows to do it using annotations, since the same 
> functionality must be possible with the metadata.mxl and with annotations.
