-------------------------------------------

[~torito] can you try with the new manipulator extension api ?

> Custom components are well handled in iPOJO using the metadata.xml, for example:
> <CustomComponent classname="MyClass" name="myCustomComponent">
>     <requires field="service"/>
> </CustomComponent>
> The custom component definition will, for example, add handlers and so on. It works very well and is nice that iPOJO allows that kind of extensions. 
> But we can't declare a custom component by using annotations, for example doing:
> @CustomComponent
> public class MyClass {...}
> It will be a nice if iPOJO allows to do it using annotations, since the same functionality must be possible with the metadata.mxl and with annotations.
