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? -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
