[sakai2-tcc] Annotation based injection within Sakai components

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi all,

I've just filed a feature request for annotation based injection within Sakai components. Currently it is not possible and changes need to be made to the kernel to do this:
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-923

In discussions with Aaron, this is a relatively simple job, but will be a backwards incompatible change. I'm interested to know more about this and to get the discussion going.

Also interested to know if the incompatibility means that:

1. You won't be able to use a newer kernel in an older version of Sakai (ie you won't be able to use the 1.3 kernel for Sakai 2.9 in Sakai 2.8) - does anyone even do that?
2. Tools won't work.

thanks,
Steve
