Hi @jvz, Don't worry, I have seen your PR, but until the end of the week I don't really have the time to review it. |
|
I'm trying to get the build to work 😆 |
|
The MacOS failure is due to a problem in the Maven Wrapper script. |
|
Now it seems there's a Windows-specific build issue related to TLS settings. |

Marks another annotation as one providing a name for an object.
Oookay... PluginElement, PluginValue, etc. are NameProviders. Got it.
The name is obtained from the annotation element named
value.
This element can be aStringorString[].
When specified as an array, the first element is used.
I am totally lost here. Would you mind elaborating on this.

I can try. The idea here is that an annotation like @Named(String[] value) can specify both the name (the first element of the array) and additional aliases (the rest of the array). However, some annotations like @PluginAliases(String[] value) use the whole array.

Right! Got it!

I'm confused by offset and its function. (Yes, I've read its Javadoc.) Would you mind explaining it a little bit more, please?

What does "NameProvider names" mean? "Names provided by NameProviders"?

I think this example needs to be explained more.

as bundles which are instances or injectable
Class<T>instances that contain one or more annotated factory methods.
"Bundle" is a very convoluted term in the Java ecosystem. Above statement literally describes a "factory collection/set", which we can consider replacing bundle with as a more self-explanatory term.

I called it "module" before as the concept is borrowed from Guice, but that gets confusing with Java modules. They're similar to spring @Configuration.

I'll leave the decision to you. You can resolve this conversation as you wish.
