Slawomir Jaranowski commented on MPLUGIN-323:
---------------------------------------------

Maybe remove  {{@Component}} annotation at all and use {{@Inject}} instead.

> injecting a Plexus component into a mojo is currently marked through {{@Component}} annotation (or {{@component}} javadoc tag)
> This "component" term is misleading for 2 reasons:
> 1. in plugin descriptor, it creates a {{<requirement>}} XML element: http://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-plugin-api/plugin.html#class_requirement
> 2. in Plexus, injecting is marked with {{@Requirement}} annotation, when {{@Component}} is used to define a component: http://codehaus-plexus.github.io/plexus-containers/plexus-component-annotations/
> This annotation creates great confusion for years, then even if Plexus is being dropped for javax.inject, fixing this misleading terms would be beneficial IMHO
