[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFORGE-92?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug... ] Lincoln Baxter III updated SEAMFORGE-92: ---------------------------------------- Description: Many plugins have to implement a setup method which prevents them from correctly using @RequiresFacet or packaging types - because the setup method cannot be called unless the @RequiredFacets are installed, which may not be the case before setup() is executed. Plugins should be able use a @Observes or @Produces method to tie into a centralized setup system, which executes the plugin setup function sans arguments, and ignoring requirements. {code}$ setup myplugin{code} {code} public void setup(@Observes SetupPlugin<MyPlugin> event, ...) { // do setup here } {code} {code} @Produces public SetupPlugin<MyPlugin> setup(...) { // do setup here } {code} or perhaps something simpler, but this would need to implement some kind of parameter injection {code} @Setup public void setup(...) { // do setup here } {code} was: Many plugins have to implement a setup method which prevents them from correctly using @RequiresFacet or packaging types.
