Re: Proposed Annotation Change

As I've mentioned before it is not appropriate for a component to
dictate its render classs.
The Woodstock components in particular have chosen to have independent
renderkits where a
component's renderer-type is mapped to a renderer class via a
faces-config.xml entry.

Adding that annotation is a contradiction of the strategy chosen for the
components.

Why not just create your own annotation processor ? This is not a
difficult task.
