Hervé Boutemy created MPLUGIN-323:
-------------------------------------
Summary: create @Requirement annotation to replace @Component
(should be deprecated)
Key: MPLUGIN-323
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPLUGIN-323
Project: Maven Plugin Tools
Issue Type: Wish
Components: maven-plugin-annotations, maven-plugin-tools-javadoc
Affects Versions: 3.5
Reporter: Hervé Boutemy
injecting a Plexus component into a mojo is currently marked through
{{@Component}} annotation (or {{@component}} javadoc tag)
This "component" term is misleading for 2 reasons:
1. in plugin descriptor, it creates a {{<requirement>}} XML element:
http://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-plugin-api/plugin.html#class_requirement
2. in Plexus, injecting is marked with {{@Requirement}} annotation, when
{{@Component}} is used to define a component:
http://codehaus-plexus.github.io/plexus-containers/plexus-component-annotations/
This annotation creates great confusion for years, then even if Plexus is being
dropped for javax.inject, fixing this misleading terms would be beneficial IMHO
