aQute.bnd.metatype.annotations.MetaTypeConstants
The MetaType Service can be used to obtain meta type information for a
bundle. The MetaType Service will examine the specified bundle for meta type
documents to create the returned
MetaTypeInformation
object.
If the specified bundle does not contain any meta type documents, then a
MetaTypeInformation
object will be returned that wrappers any
ManagedService
or ManagedServiceFactory
services registered
by the specified bundle that implement MetaTypeProvider
. Thus the
MetaType Service can be used to retrieve meta type information for bundles
which contain a meta type documents or which provide their own
MetaTypeProvider
objects.
