  Hi devs,
 I'd like to propose to deprecate the "value" and "hints" fields
of @Component and instead use the @Named annotation (and @Qualifier annotations later on).
 The rationale is to align with JSR330's @Named annotation at injection points and
also to start going in the direction of CDI (JSR299) since CDI uses @Named for beans too.
 Example before:
 @Component("hint")
 public class MyComponent...
 After:
 @Component
 @Named("hint")
 public class MyComponent 
 Is @Component really required in that case ? 
 Yes we still need to discover component declarations. 
 I mean if it's just for discovering we could change the test on
 @Component to check @Component || @Named 
We could but I don't like it too much since it's uneven. @Named doesn't
semantically means it's a component.
What I'd prefer is find out how CDI impl do it and do the same (since they don't
need any annotation for Roles and Components).
Thanks
