Clement Escoffier commented on FELIX-3699:
------------------------------------------
@Guillaume : This looks pretty interesting, but it's a big features, probably
for the 1.8.6 and not 1.8.4 (which will be relaased soon)
@Issac: the problem is that the manipulator must not load classes, this is
because you don't know in which environment it's executed. So unfortunately, I
can't load the annotations. We're working on that in iPOJO 2.0, but until this
release, we will have to handle classes as strings.
> Allow annotations to handle custom component definitions.

> 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.
