Robert Munteanu commented on OAK-6770:
--------------------------------------
On the topic of whether we should move, I see the following reasons:
* the old SCR annotations are, well, old and we don't get the benefit of added
features from newer SCR specifications unless we use the new ones
* the old SCR annotations are proprietary to the Felix project and no longer
developed. This locks us in to using the specific Maven tooling from Felix
which is basically in maintenance mode
On the topic on when we should move I would say as early in the dev cycle as
possible to patch potential regressions. The translation is neither automatic
nor trivial, so we should do it "soon".
We can mix and match annotations between modules - this is the situation we're
in now, but I would advise against doing that in the same module - it's
confusing.
Regarding the more specific fallback config needs we have - framework
properties, system properties, I suggest we discuss this with someone closer to
the OSGi specs and maybe there's way to do this in a simplified manner that
does not require duplicating property names as method definitions and strings.
