Raymond Augé commented on FELIX-4826:
-------------------------------------
With this change two possibilities are achieved:
# It's possible to cast OCDs and ADs returned from the MetaTypeService to
{{org.apache.felix.metatype.OptionalAttributesProvider}}. Of course care must
be taken to perform an instanceof check to ensure instances actually implements
the interface.
# It's possible to implement
{{org.apache.felix.metatype.OptionalAttributesProvider}} on custom OCDs and ADs
returned by MetaTypeProvider implementations.
> expose OptionalAttributes as interface on AttributeDefinition and
> ObjectClassDefinition implementations

> Currently, there isn't a practical way to obtain OptionalAttributes on ADs
> and OCDs.
> However, with the addition of a simple interface it would be possible to both
> access this extra information as well as add extra information
> programmatically when implemented MetaTypeProviders.
