[Felix Meschberger <fm...@apache.org>]

The Apache Felix team is pleased to announce the release

  Apache Felix Maven SCR Plugin 1.6.0
  Apache Felix SCR Ant Task 1.0.0
  Apache Felix SCR Generator 1.0.0
  Apache Felix SCR Annotations 1.4.0

The Apache Felix Maven SCR Plugin is a Maven 2 plugin to generate OSGi
Declarative Services and OSGi Metatype Service descriptors from JavaDoc
tags and/or Java 5 annotations interspersed in Java source code.

The Apache Felix SCR Ant Task is an Ant Task plugin to generate OSGi
Declarative Services and OSGi Metatype Service descriptors from JavaDoc
tags and/or Java 5 annotations interspersed in Java source code.

The Apache Felix SCR Generator library is a helper library used by both
the Maven SCR Plugin (as a dependency) and the SCR Ant Task (included
with the task library) to actually create the descriptors from the tags
and/or annotations.

The Apache Felix SCR Annotations library defines the core Java 5
annotations supported and may be used as a build time dependency to use
these tags in the source.

  http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-maven-scr-plugin.html

This release is available from
http://felix.apache.org/site/downloads.cgi.

The SCR Annotations library can be used in Maven projects by adding a
dependency to 

  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.apache.felix.annotations</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.0</version>
  </dependency>
