[Adrian Brock (JIRA)]

Add support for Install items
-----------------------------

                 Key: JBMICROCONT-165
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMICROCONT-165
             Project: JBoss MicroContainer
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Dependency
            Reporter: Adrian Brock
         Assigned To: Ales Justin


We already support contextual dependency injection
(injected based on class)

@Inject
public void setSomething(X x);

and installation into "repositories"

<bean name="Queue1">
   <install bean="JMSBroker" method="addQueue"/>
</bean>

There should be additional support for more dynamic injection/installation.
In annotations the three new features are:

1) The injection is dynamic
- the service will start even if the dependency is not satisifed
- the service might get the injection later when it is available

@Inject(optional=true)
public void setSomething(X x);

2) Installation of "services" by type

- Inject all implementors of a particular class
- Keep reinjecting as implementors come and go
- The cardinality specifies the minimum number
that must exist for the service to start

@Install(cardinality=0)
public void setSomethings(Collection<X> x)

3) Like (2) but with add/remove methods

@Install(cardinality=0)
public void addSomething(X x)
@Uninstall
public void removeSomething(X x)
