Declarative Services: Manually Defined?

[Bryan Hunt]

What does the new Manually Defined mean for the Declarative Services setting?

Related to this, when I change the setting from Manually Defined to OSGi Annotations and save the bnd.bnd file, the value is switched back to Manually Defined.

This is not new. When the Bndtools editor reads the file, it’s looking for the string “-dsannotations: *”, meaning “use standard DS annotations" OR the string “Service-Component: *” meaning “use bnd annotations”.

If either of these properties are present but with a value other than “*” then we infer that you’ve done something special that can’t be represented in the dropdown. In other words: Manually Defined.

That shouldn’t happen. Maybe a bug.

Thanks for the explanation Neil. I had both -dsannotations and Service-Component: set to “*” in the workspace template I hacked from enRoute. Removing Service-Component: * gets me back to the desired OSGi Annotations.

Also don't forget that as of bnd 3.0 or 3.1 (I don't recall which specifically) the default for -dsannotations was set to * so unless there's a really specific reason to set it, I'd just ignore or even remove that part of the GUI just for simplicity.
