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
Here's my +1
+1. Will the old mechanism continue to work for a while, for backwards
compatibility?
Sure. It's only about marking it deprecated.
Thanks
