Yep. Same as Bootique: http://bootique.io/docs/0/bootique-docs/index.html#programming-module-providers . This is a standard Java auto-discovery mechanism based on JDK ServiceLoader. I had a few offline conversations about introducing it in Cayenne. Need to bring them online. FWIW this task is independent from the ROP work and affects many other modules. Andrus
