Marc Bridner commented on FELIX-4170:
-------------------------------------
I'd like to log a request for you to consider keeping it, but leaving it
deprecated. It has its uses, even with the above mentioned issues.
> Deprecate inheritance of component descriptors
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-4170
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4170
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Maven SCR Plugin
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
> Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
> Fix For: maven-scr-plugin 1.14.0, scr ant task 1.8.0, scr
> generator 1.8.0, scr annotations 1.9.6
>
>
> The inheritance feature of the annotations is problematic as this only works
> reliable if the super class used at build time is the same as at run time.
> However at the point of descriptor generation this can't be ensured and
> therefore might lead to subtle problems.
> In addition, the DS spec decided against inheritance for the same reasons.
> Therefore it is advisable to remove this feature in the long run. As a first
> step we should log a warning if inheritance is used
