Hi Bengt Apologies for my belated reply. The blueprint annotation project has been moved from sandbox to the trunk not so long ago, and it is still in exploration state and supports the basic functions as described on the wiki page pointed by Justin. There has been quite some discussion on the dev list on what functions/capabilities people want to see with the blueprint annotation in Aries, and I don't think we ever reached an agreement yet. There isn't any spec by the OSGi Alliance on blueprint annotation and I would hope the OSGi Alliance could standardize this in the future.
It is in fact released as part of the Aries 0.2 release, but not included in the blueprint uber bundle. I am not aware of anybody using it in production.
