             Summary: Create a Builder SPI
                 Key: SHRINKDESC-119
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKDESC-119
             Project: ShrinkWrap Descriptors
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Andrew Rubinger


Apart from the SWD object model, we could make it much easier to populate the metadata by introducing a "Builder" (name to be discussed) SPI.  The purpose here would be a pluggable mechanism to accomplish code like the following:

{code}WebAppDescriptor desc = create(WebAppDescriptor.class)
         .add(type(Servlet.class)
                .className("com.acme.MyServlet")
                .name("MyServletName"))
         .add(build(Servlet.class)
                 .from(MyServlet.class));{code}

Here the WepAppDescriptor gets data added by scanning in annotations observed on the user's MyServlet, relieving the user of supplying the configuration manually.
