Hi all, for some developments I'm doing in other projects I'm using the standard Java ServiceLoader to be able to automatically load multiple implementations of a given class/interface name, for a plugin-like system.
In Pivot there is a similar thing: the class Service, doing all in our code without using Java ServiceLoader for better flexibility, but loading only 1 implementation (the first found in classpath) of the given class/interface name. I think it could be a good addition the ability to: - handle more than 1 file META-INF/services/ ... if possible - find/load more than 1 implementation (if found) with this we could set some basis for a plugin-like component system, or maybe for something like auto-discovery of Components and auto-registering ... and probably other n things :-) . These new features could expand existing Service class, and retrofit (update but in a compatible way) its existing behavior. Other approach would require classpath scanning (like Spring and many other frameworks) but in a complex way, probably too much for our requirements here. What do you think ? Bye, Sandro
