Carsten Ziegeler commented on FELIX-1010:
-----------------------------------------
I've played a little bit with the annotation stuff and came across the
following "problems":
- The maven project using the annotations requires the scrplugin-annotation
module (containing the annotations) as a compile dependency; maybe we can find
a way of adding this dependency by the scr plugin to the classpath
- The retention policy for the annotations needs to be RUNTIME, otherwise the
scr plugin does not get the annotations as the vm loads the classes but does
not retain the annotations. RUNTIME requires to have the annotations available
at runtime as well, so although they are not used anymore we would need to make
a bundle out of the annotations
- The valueRef and nameRef attributes for properties are currently not
supported. This is a very nice feature which allows to reference an existing
Constant for a value or name.
Apart from these problems, the ide support is nice :)

> Key: FELIX-1010
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1010
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Maven SCR Plugin
> Affects Versions: maven-scr-plugin-1.0.10
> Reporter: Stefan Seifert
> Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
> Fix For: maven-scr-plugin-1.0.11
>
> Attachments: 090329_felix_scrplugin_annotationsupport.patch
>
>
> goals of this proposal:
> - allow definition of SCR components with java annotations instead of QDox
> tags
> - advantages: strong typing, auto-completion and jump to source documentation
> in modern IDEs
> - support built-in annotations with 1:1 matching the old scr.* tags, and
> allow definition of custom annotations for other felix/scr-based projects to
> minimalize syntax overhead
> - the QDox tags are still supported, but cannot be mixed with annotations
> whithing the same source file
> attached to this ticket is a full implemented and tested patch, that supports
> all feates supported by the scr.* QDox tags today. some of the more "exotic"
> features are not tested in detail, only the generated descriptors where
> compared.
> i created a new project "scrplugin-annotations", that contains only the
> annotations for easy referencing without unwanted transitive dependencies.
> i'm not sure if the package and artifact name are well chosen.
> Example 1
> ---------
> QDox version:
> /**
> * Service class with QDox annotations.
> *
> * @scr.component
> * @scr.property name="testProperty" value="testValue"
> * @scr.service
> */
> public class MinimalServiceQDox implements {
> ...
> Annotation version:
> /**
> * Service class with java annotations.
> */
> @Component
> @Property(name = "testProperty", value = "testValue")
> @Service
> public class MinimalServiceAnnotations {
> ...
> Example 2
> ---------
> QDox version:
> /**
> * Service class with QDox annotations.
> *
> * @scr.component name="QDoxName" label="theLabel"
> description="theDescription"
> * immediate="false" enabled="false" factory="xx.yy.zz"
> * @scr.service interface="org.osgi.service.component.ComponentInstance"
> * servicefactory="true"
> * @scr.service interface="java.lang.Readable"
> * @scr.property name="stringProp" value="theValue" label="thePropLabel"
> * description="thePropDesc" options 0="option0" 1="option1"
> * 2="option2"
> * @scr.property name="intProp" value="5" type="Integer"
> * @scr.property name="multiProp" values.0="multiValue1"
> values.1="multiValue2"
> */
> public class ServiceQDox implements ComponentInstance, Readable {
> /**
> * @scr.reference cardinality=0..1, dynamic=true
> */
> MinimalServiceQDox reference;
> ...
> Annotation version:
> /**
> * Service class with java annotations.
> */
> @Component(name = "AnnotName", label = "theLabel", description =
> "theDescription", immediate = false, enabled = false, factory = "xx.yy.zz")
> @Services( { @Service(value = ComponentInstance.class, serviceFactory =
> true), @Service(Readable.class) })
> @Properties( {
> @Property(name = "stringProp", value = "theValue", label =
> "thePropLabel", description = "thePropDesc", options = {
> @PropertyOption(name = "0", value = "option0"),
> @PropertyOption(name = "1", value = "option1"),
> @PropertyOption(name = "2", value = "option2") }),
> @Property(name = "intProp", value = "5", type = Integer.class),
> @Property(name = "multiProp", value = { "multiValue1", "multiValue2"
> }) })
> public class ServiceAnnotations implements ComponentInstance, Readable {
> @Reference(cardinality = ReferenceCardinality.ZERO_TO_ONE, policy =
> ReferencePolicy.DYNAMIC)
> MinimalServiceAnnotations reference;
> ...
> Example 3 - using Custom Annotation from other project
> ------------------------------------------------------
> QDox version:
> /**
> * Sample servlet with sling mappings.
> *
> * @scr.component immediate="true"
> * @scr.service interface="javax.servlet.Servlet"
> * @scr.property name="sling.servlet.methods" value="GET"
> * @scr.property name="sling.servlet.resourceTypes"
> * value="/apps/test/components/samplecomponent"
> * @scr.property name="sling.servlet.extensions" values.0="html"
> values.1="json"
> */
> public class SlingServletQDox implements Servlet {
> Annotation version:
> /**
> * Sample servlet with sling mappings.
> */
> @SlingServlet(methods = "GET", resourceTypes =
> "/apps/test/components/samplecomponent", extensions = { "html", "json" })
> public class SlingServletAnnotation implements Servlet {
> Custom annotation mappings can be integrated by defining a class implementing
> "org.apache.felix.scrplugin.tags.annotation.AnnotationTagProvider" for the
> new plugin property "annotationTagProviders" in the pom.
