[Embedlets-dev] Minimal Embedlets

[Ted K. <tk...@ya...>]

It seems that Chris's idea of specifying a stripped-down 'lite' version of
Embedlets now has a precedence.  Take a look at what the PicoContainer
development team has just done:

"Components can be created for it without importing or extending any interfaces
or classes outside of the java.* package. Components also have no meta-info
specification. I.e. no XML. Most importantly of all, components for
PicoContainer can be used without PicoContainer for good old-fashioned
hard-coded deployments."

I have started to work with Java on uVM and this experience has lead me to
start moving more towards Chris's idea.  I think that there is a need to be
able to run Embedlets outside of a container for "good old-fashioned hard-coded
deployments" in some situations.  I think that we should leave this decision up
to the developer.


Thoughts?

Ted
