Re: [osgi-dev] Aliasing OSGi DS annotations

Hi Toni, hi Tim,

thanks for this information :) Your're probably right. This is too much
effort for a simple name clash.

Kind regards,
Thomas

Re: [osgi-dev] Aliasing OSGi DS annotations

[Toni Menzel via osgi-dev]

Keep in mind that DS Annotations are compile-time only annotations where
the tooling produces the (relevant) xml spec at build-time.
You of cause can your own annotations and either add the DS annotations
underneath before tooling kicks-in or generate the xml fully yourself. The
benefit of the second approach might be that your annotations can be more
specific than the DS annotations. The downside is that you lose IDE support
like Bndtools (if this is desired).

Its been one of the things we where looking into some time ago. Direct
aliasing (or even extension) support what be awesome. But you would end up
doing a large mile by yourself.
In your case - you only wanting to go around the name-clash - its probably
way too much.

Hi,

There isn’t any sort of Aliasing for DS annotations.

Best Regards,

Tim
