DS 1.3+ and Sling convenience annotations

[Olaf Otto]

Dear all,

We're trying to do an early adoption of DS 1.3+ in a Sling application. We've 
thus used the OSGI standard DS annotations along with version 3.0.0 of the 
maven-bundle-plugin.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.osgi</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.osgi.service.component.annotations</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.0</version>
</dependency>


This works fine. However, we are wondering how convenience annotations such as 
@SlingServlet should be ported to the standard. It does not seem to be 
something one can do with the standard annotations. What might be the right 
approach to do something like this? An extension to the maven-bundle-plugin? 
Migrating support for custom annotations to the maven-sling-plugin? Any ideas 
welcome :)

Regards,
Olaf Otto
