Description

Here are the steps:

1. create a bundle (say "Stereotype") that exports package test.ipojo.stereotype containing
   1. the MyInterface interface
   2. the MyComponent annotation:

      @Component
      @Provides (specifications = MyInterface.class)
      @Stereotype
      @Target(TYPE)
      public @interface  MyComponent {
      }
      

2. build and install "Stereotype" in local maven repo
3. using maven, create another bundle (say "Stereotype-bundle") containing a class that uses the stereotype:

   @MyComponent
   public class ComponentByStereotype extends ComponentBase implements AnotherInterface 
   

4. configure BND of "Stereotype-bundle" like this (the bundle does not need to export or include any package):

   <Bundle-SymbolicName>${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}</Bundle-SymbolicName>
   <Bundle-Version>${project.version}</Bundle-Version>
   <Import-Package>test.ipojo.stereotype,*</Import-Package>
   <Private-Package></Private-Package>
   <Export-Package></Export-Package>
   

5. make sure "Stereotype-bundle" has "Stereotype" in it's maven dependencies
6. configure maven-ipojo-plugin in "Stereotype-bundle"

   <plugin>
   	<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
   	<artifactId>maven-ipojo-plugin</artifactId>
   	<version>1.12.0</version>
   	<executions>
   		<execution>
   			<goals>
   				<goal>ipojo-bundle</goal>
   			</goals>
   		</execution>
   	</executions>
   </plugin>
   

7. Try to build 'Stereotype-bundle'

Expected result: The 'Stereotype-bundle' will be build and @MyComponent annotation will be processed.

Actual result: The @MyComponent annotation is NOT processed. The following is displayed in console:

[WARNING] Class test.ipojo.bundle.ComponentByStereotype has not been marked as a component type (no @Component, @Handler, ...). It will be ignored by the iPOJO manipulator.
