Binding methods are not automatically generated for abstract components
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-429
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-429
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Maven SCR Plugin
            Reporter: Felix Meschberger
            Assignee: Felix Meschberger


The maven-scr-plugin is able to automatically generate bind/unbind methods for 
for singleton references of DS components if such methods do not exist. 
Currently, these methods are not generated for abstract descriptors (declaring 
the @scr.component abstract="true").

The consequence of this behaviour is, that the any fields of the abstract base 
class must be defined protected such that the bind/undind methods to be created 
on the inheriting concrete class may be able to access the fields.

I think this leads to improper API leaking and should not be done. Rather the 
bind/unbind methods should also be created for abstract components.
