Jyrki Ruuskanen commented on FELIX-4584:
----------------------------------------
Our components rely heavily on properties (PropertiesComponent of Camel, to be
exact). We want to use the exact same properties set in the Property
annotations in our unit tests.
With retention changed to runtime we can copy, as you suggested, the values in
Property annotations into a member in our component class statically. Something
like below (I don't have the real code at hand right now):
private static final Map<String, String> defaultProperties;
static {
Map<String, String> props = new HashMap<>();
...felix.scr.annotations.Property[] properties =
OurComponent.class.getDeclaredAnnotation(Properties.class).value();
for (Property prop : properties) {
props.put(prop.getName(), prop.getValue());
}
defaultProperties = Collections.unmodifiableMap(props);
}
Then we can test using this Map and be sure it's in sync with the Property
annotations.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4584
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SCR Tooling
> Reporter: Jyrki Ruuskanen
> Priority: Minor
>
> This change allows us to access Property annotation values in plain java unit
> tests. Without this our unit tests would have to run in an SCR-capable
> container.
> You may consider changing the retention for the whole lot (why not), but at
> least these two are necessary.
