I agree on that. It's terribly frustrating to deal with runtime problems that should have been detectable at compile time. Perhaps instead of categories we had a meta-annotation that describes a plugin category, and then plugins can use a category annotation instead of the parameter? We could really use annotations like this to make things more typed with less typing. -- Matt Sicker <[email protected]>
