             Summary: Make component property types implement java.lang.annotation.Annotation as well
                 Key: FELIX-5543
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5543
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Declarative Services (SCR)
    Affects Versions: scr-2.1.0
            Reporter: Konrad Windszus


Currently component property types only implement one getter method for each element. The methods {{toString()}}, {{equals()}}, {{hashCode()}} and {{annotationType}} are not implemented.
At least the toString() should be implemented in a way, that doesn't just return {{null}}.
I think it would be reasonable for all component property types to implement {{java.lang.annotation.Annotation}} appropriately (as specified by the javadoc in https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/annotation/Annotation.html}}. For that the {{Annotations#toObject(...)}} needs to be adjusted in https://github.com/apache/felix/blob/trunk/scr/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/scr/impl/inject/Annotations.java#L41.
