Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-7612: -------------------------------------------- Does this bring any actual benefit besides being "more modern", in a way? I'm a bit wary as using DS will slightly change the startup dynamics and I suppose many components have a reference to the MimeTypeService and as such might start later, as MimeTypeService will now wait for DS. If the changes does bring any actual benefits why not, but I'm not sure that's the case - might be worth a discussion on our dev list. > Use DS to register optional components > -------------------------------------- > > Key: SLING-7612 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7612 > Project: Sling > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Commons > Affects Versions: Commons Mime 2.1.10 > Reporter: Christian Schneider > Priority: Major > Fix For: Commons Mime 2.1.12 > > > Currently the TikaMimeTypeProvider as well as the MimeTypeWebConsolePlugin > are registered programmatically.

So I propose to > do both with simple DS component annotations. I will provide a PR. > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
