Hi, You might've noticed that we've begun migrating to the OSGi R6 annotations. The biggest reason for this switch - besides moving to the latest and greatest and from proprietary to standard - is using the declarative services spec 1.3, see [1] for highlights.
There's a good write-up about the conversion at [2] and also you can see how this went for oak-core and oak-store-document at [3]. So next time you work on your module it would be great if you also see if it's one of the open sub-tasks of OAK-6471 [4] and convert it :-) Thanks, Robert [1]: http://njbartlett.name/2015/08/17/osgir6-declarative-services.html [2]: https://blog.osoco.de/2016/05/migrating-from-the-apache-felix-scr- annotations-to-the-osgi-declarative-services-annotations/ [3]: https://svn.apache.org/r1810002 [4]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-6741
