Hi,
I am at the stage where it is time to decorate some of the components with
metadata tags. ie Go through some of the components (specifically the
xml/monitor ones) and add tags in like;
@avalon.component lifestyle="ThreadSafe"
@avalon.service interface="FooInterface"
@avalon.dependency interface="FooInterface"
etc
This will be used to generate the coresponding metainfo files. I guess my
question is
(1) Should I generate the descriptors and check them into CVS. Advantages
of this approach is that it does not alter how they are currently used.
Disadvantage is that it could be a bit painful to maintain over time.
(2) Should I put in ant tasks to generate the metainfo as part of build
process. The advantage of this is that it is self-maintaining. The
disadvantage is that it makes a whole bunch of these projects dependent on
containerkit (and all its dependencies) when they otherwise would not be
dependent.
Opinions?
Cheers,
Peter Donald
