Hi all,
currently we are migrating one of our projects from SCR to blueprint using Apache Aries. We defined our services using XML files and want to provide a proper configuration for them using Apache Felix Web Console. According to the OSGI specs we have to write MetaType information for that, what it is a little bit dirty in my eyes. Would it be possible to combine MetaType information and Blueprint definition? In my eyes the following possibilities would be nice to have: 1. Having a namespace that allows the user to add MetaType information to the blueprint definition XML files. This information could then be published using a MetaTypeProvider. 2. Adding the MetaType information to the Blueprint Annotation API and also publishing them using a MetaTypeProvider Additionally I had a look at the Blueprint Annotation implementation and mentioned that the Blueprint model is generated during runtime. Wouldn't it be better to generate the model during build (e.g using a maven plugin similar to Apache Felix SCR Plugin)?
