So such compiled descriptors will be stored in classpath as some
classes? Am I understanding idea correctly?
How Hivemind will discover such descriptors? Can anyone explain more
detailed how it possibly can be implemented ( main concepts )?
How people will use it, and as on... Because IMO Hivemind apps startup
time is probably the only one negative thing about it.

I see this concept in thunkmap (thinkmap.com)
there is beautiful xml configuration (it's real pleasure to work with)
and special packager to compile xml into bytecode for production.
but, the bad news is its not open or free
for now, i dont have enough knowledge and time to implement something like
but it is still possible :)

xVik,
We did experiment with serializing the parsed XML module definitions
as POJOs (i.e. standard Java object serialization). It turned out that
reading that back in was really just marginally faster than parsing
the equivalent XML.
If I understand you correctly you propose compiling the module
definitions to Java code (e.g. a class implementing
ModuleDescriptorProvider) and in turn save that as a Java bytecode
file. To do that one could use Javassist, CGLIB, etc.
I have indeed thought about this idea. But I never got around
implementing it. I agree with you that the XML is quite nice for
defining configuration contributions for a given schema, so even with
the advent of Java annotation based definitions it may be worthwhile.
Let us know if you have any more concrete thoughts / ideas about this.

Im just curious about:
why not to compile xml configuration for the production
..
as i can see from my work xml its pretty good format for describing
configuration..
its very human-friendly (readable)
for me, xml have only one disadvataje - it takes a long time for parse
im also like annotations, but in case of schemas, for example, its more
pleasure to configure it
in xml
and small tool that will compile xml to bytecode will be the silver
bullet
in case of develoment pleasure
what you think?
