             Summary: Issue warning messages when SCR annotations miss proper descriptions and labels
                 Key: FELIX-4035
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4035
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Declarative Services (SCR)
            Reporter: Jörg Hoh


When using SCR annotations you can easily create services and components, which do not have proper labels and descriptions. We should warn in these cases.

Case 1: 
{code}
@Component(metatype=true)
@Property(...)
{code}

When a metatype is being generated, a label and a description should be provided as well. The warn message could be "A metatype should always have a label and a description".

Case 2:
{code}
@Component(metatype=true)
@Property(name="foo",value="bar")
{code}

When a metatype is being generated, containing properties which are not marked as private, a warning "Non-private properties in a metatype should always have a label and a description" should be logged.

Case 3:
{code}
@Component(metatype=true)
{code}

In case a metatype is being created without any property, a warning "A metatype should have properties; in case no properties are wanted, consider to use 'metatype=false'" should be logged.
