John Ament commented on ARQ-1555:
---------------------------------

Actually, I think there's a bigger issue.  

In order to use ArquillianResource, need to implement a ResourceProvider.  However, the lookup method doesn't give you access to the class that was requested.  For static resources, this works fine because you know the type expected.  In this case, we use dynamic type invocation.

So, I think we need a core change to indicate the class to provide.

> Currently, the annotation marking a REST client is "ArquillianResteasyResource", this implies that the client framework can only ever work with RestEasy.  I would like to propose renaming this annotation ArquillianRestClient, which clearily identifies it as being useful to any Rest Client framework, and make it's clearer that it's a client API (not the resource itself).
