Thanks Bertrand,
I can see that now... I was browsing bundles that just provided the
interfaces and lacked that directory. I overlooked the fact that Felix
annotations are concentrated in the service implementations.
Will try that out on Equinox and let you know. I'm going to launch the
environment from Eclipse rather than the Sling launcher.
Thanks again,
Alessandro

Before setting up the environment, I was wondering if I can expect these
bundles to run despite the fact there are Felix SCR components and services....
In theory yes, I'm not sure about our Sling-based launcher but you
might not even use it IIUC.
In my understanding, declarative services are part of the OSGi
specifications, but what if in the Java code they are defined with Felix
annotations (@Component, @Reference etc.)? Are they converted to
"standardized" component/service declarations at build time? I haven't found
anything of much use in the generated MANIFEST.MF files...
The annotations are processed at build time by the maven-scr-plugin
[1] so they have no impact at runtime.
The result is written to serviceComponents.xml files found at
target/classes/OSGI-INF/serviceComponents.xml for modules that call
this maven plugin. Those xml files get included in the bundles and
that's what the SCR subsystem uses.
