Clement Escoffier3e0db1e2009-01-15 15:35:17 +0000[diff] [blame]229Once added to your class path / build path / dependencies, you can use
230the annotations as normal annotations. These annotations are
231automatically processed by the iPOJO manipulator.</p>

687<p>It is possible to defines component type both in the metadata file
688(in XML) and by using annotation. However, if a component type defined
689by using annotations has the same name than a type define in the XML
690file, the XML descriptor override the annotation defined type. However,
691a warning message is launched during the manipulation.</p>

695<p>Annotation can only be used to define component type. To define
696instances, you need to use the XML descriptor. Instance can refer to
697annotated types by referring to their names.</p>
