Hi,
I'm almost sure the annotations are not needed during execution. During
runtime, SCR uses the XML files included inside the bundle (jar).
The bundle plugin uses the annotation in the classes to generate those xml
descriptors.
In my maven projects, I normally use the "bom" dependency provided by karaf
to ensure I'm using the same dependencies used by Karaf. For example:
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.apache.karaf</groupId>
> <artifactId>karaf-bom</artifactId>
> <version>${karaf.version}</version>
> <type>pom</type>
> <scope>import</scope>
> </dependency>
But for my convenience, I tend to use the Enroute dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.osgi.enroute</groupId>
<artifactId>osgi-api</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>provided</scope>
> </dependency>
Best regards,
João
