Hi Dhiego,
I suggest you look into an existing implementation of dependency management and
injection such as OSGi Declarative Services (my favorite) or OSGi Blueprint. In
addition there exist other things like Apache Felix iPojo or Apache Felix
DependencyManager.
All of these help you with managing components and their dependencies and
"activating" components only when dependencies are satisified.
Regards
Felix
