public @interface Feature

The main building block of Meld, represents a functionality or group thereof (module).

Features consist of:

• Provisions, the components that implement the functionality
• Configuration Parameters
• ExtensionPoints, that allow other features configure this feature further
• Setup methods (which often contribute to ExtensionPoints)

Many features are split into a feature interface that only declares a set of provisions and one or more implementation(s) of that feature interface.

Features are put together to a Configuration.
