Sandro Martini created PIVOT-962:
------------------------------------
Summary: Load of classes using a standard discovery method across
different projects/jars
Key: PIVOT-962
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-962
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Sandro Martini
Assignee: Sandro Martini
Fix For: 2.1
Implement a simple but standardized way, for example using Java ServiceLoader
(simple to use but with little customizations) to load all classes in CLASSPATH
that implements/extends a given class.
Note that a great feature (of ServiceLoader) is that all manifest files with
the given name are loaded, even in different projects or jars (available in
classpath); could be useful to simplify integration of
customizations/extensions.
This could be useful for example to discover and load all Components found in
CLASSPATH, from the Skin (maybe with a dedicated implementation of loaders).
Here you can find a sample version of the same concepts, but more general (and
for Plugins):
