[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-1102) Support detection/registration/installation of undeclared dependent facets

Support detection/registration/installation of undeclared dependent facets -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: FORGE-1102 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1102 Project: Forge Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 1.3.3.Final Reporter: Vineet Reynolds Fix For: 2.x Future Based on FORGE-1101, facets that are not declared via {{@RequiresFacet}} may not be visible via {{Project.hasFacet()}} at the right time since the {{ProjectFactory}}'s registry may not process these facets in the right order. It would be a good idea to hint the {{ProjectFactory}} that a particular Facet may have to be registered. To explain further, the {{RestFacet}} does not declare any dependencies on the {{RestWebXmlFacet}} and the {{RestApplicationFacet}}. These facets are therefore not always detected via the {{project.hasFacet()}} invocations. Declaring them as facets via a {{@RequiresOnlyOneFacet}} annotation could be one solution to ensure that only one facet within a group should be sufficient to satisfy the desired constraints on a Faceted type. Likewise, we could also add support for optional facets that are may be installed if possible, via a {{@OptionalFacets}} annotation. This would probably be better supported in 2.x instead of 1.x.
