Annotation Type ServiceProvider

@Documented @Target(TYPE) @Retention(SOURCE) @Repeatable(List.class) public @interface ServiceProvider
Declarative registration of a service provider.

Current features:

  • generates classpath files in META-INF/services folder
  • supports multiple registration of one class
  • can infer the service if the provider implements/extends exactly one interface/class
  • checks coherence between classpath and modulepath if module-info.java is available

Current limitations:

  • detects modulepath public static provider() method but doesn't generate a workaround for classpath
