Issac Garcia commented on FELIX-3699:
-------------------------------------
It should work to start using this functionality,
I was thinking if it is possible to annotate our annotations to specify that
they are ipojo components, for example:
@ipojonize
public @interface MyComponent {...}
And while manipulating, see if the custom annotation is described to manipulate
the class.
Another option could be using default values to see if it is a custom component
or not, for example:
public @interface MyComponent {
Boolean ipojonize() default true;
...
}
If not, your solutions could work anyway
Even if we want to minimize the configuration for the developer as much as
possible.
In that case, we'll check what is the best approach:
to have a predefined parent pom with the componentAnnotation configured,
or see if the maven-inherit-plugin allows us to extend the iPOJO plugin to
configure it and hide this configuration for the developers of our custom
components.
What do you think?

> 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.
