spi in maven

[Tibor Blenessy]

Hi,

I really like this project, I was just thinking to code the same idea
by myself. Do you think it would be possible to publish this project
into maven central repository? Or is there some alternative already in
maven? I would like to have it integrated in maven, so I don't have to
change the way how I manage dependencies.

Hi Tibor,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a look at it, but not before May.

If you add the repo netbeans=http://bits.netbeans.org/maven2/ you can add a dep on org.netbeans.api:org-openide-util-lookup (say in version RELEASE691) and use
@org.openide.util.lookup.ServiceProvider, which will do essentially the same thing as @ProviderFor.

I do not know of anything in Central. (You might expect a basic tool like this to be in the JRE, since ServiceLoader is!) Google turns up

https://github.com/francisdb/serviceloader-maven-plugin - a Maven plugin (maybe not published?), not an annotation

http://felix.apache.org/site/scr-annotations.html - for use in OSGi, seems heavier-weight

http://code.google.com/p/mycila/wiki/MycilaGuice#Service_Loader - some interesting integration with Guice, but on the consumer side, not directly relevant here
