Annotation Type BundleContributors

@Retention(value=CLASS)
@Target(value={ANNOTATION_TYPE,TYPE})
public @interface BundleContributors

Maven defines contributors and developers in the POM. This annotation will generate a (not standardized by OSGi) Bundle-Contributors header.

This annotation can be used directly on a type or it can 'color' an annotation. This coloring allows custom annotations that define a specific contributor. For example:

   @BundleContributor("Peter.Kriens@aQute.biz")
   @interface pkriens {}
   
   @pkriens
   public class MyFoo {
     ...
   }
 

Duplicates are removed before the header is generated and the coloring does not create an entry in the header, only an annotation on an actual type is counted. This makes it possible to make a library of contributors without then adding them all to the header.
