             Summary: Inline metatype information instead of using metatype.properties files
                 Key: SLING-3077
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3077
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Best practices
            Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
            Priority: Minor


>From V1.14.0 (FELIX-4101), the maven-scr-plugin can use metatype information provided in Java code annotations, instead of requiring a separate metatype.properties file. This also requires the org.apache.felix.metatype bundle V1.0.8 or later at runtime.

With this, we should inline metatype information instead of using metatype.properties files - this moves the labels and names closer to their use, and it's still possible to localize them if needed.

Examples:

@Component(metatype=true, label="Some Label", description="Something")

@Property(label="The property", description="Its description")
