Sam Corbett commented on BROOKLYN-58:
-------------------------------------

One addition to the "Brooklyn can load your catalog.xml file" points above:
* If the file contains an empty classpath element ({{<classpath/>}}) Brooklyn will scan the local classpath.

> Devise a mechanism that allows catalog entries (including - and preferably - utilising YAML blueprints) to be defined in source code and automatically importing into the catalog.
> Potential mechanisms include the ServiceLoader mechanism, annotation processing, doclets, etc. A runtime mechanism may be preferable as this would also collect catalog entries that the user has added to the dropins directory.
