No, a "simple and naive" detection algorithm is implemented to detect
"iPOJO-related" annotations. An annotation is detected and computed as
follow:
- the annotation package must be the handler namespace.
- the annotation name must be the handler name
- the annotation package must contain the 'ipojo' word or the 'handler'
word.
- annotation attributes are mapped to iPOJO attribute
- an annotation on field adds the 'field' attribute containing the field
name
- an annotation on method adds the 'method' containing the method name
So, let's imagine an handler with the following characteristics:
- name : test
- namespace: com.acme.ipojo.test
The annotation qualified name is : com.acme.ipojo.test.Test (@Test from the
com.acme.ipojo.test package).
@Test(attribute1="val1", attribute2="val2")
public TestPojo {
...
}
This snippet is equivalent to the following XML description:
<com.acme.test.test attribute1="val1" attribute2="val2"/>

I will do it soon (should be done before the end of November). An iPOJO
based tutorial is under preparation, so I will extend this section at the
same time.
