You know the component scanning feature of Spring? You'll love this: component scanning as easy as select(javaClasses()).from("your.package").returning(allAnnotatedWith(YourAnnotation.class)). Can support any language running on the JVM.

----------

eXtcos is now also available from Maven Central. To include it into your Maven project just add this dependency:

groupId: net.sf.extcos
artifactId: extcos
version: 0.4b

Unfortunately Sourceforge doesn't support XML snippets in the description, so you'll have to build it yourself if needed.
