23  * An annotation to manage the particular case where a Fractal component uses
24  * one or several Java interface imported from a jar. For instance,
25  * java.lang.Runnable, which is regularly used in AOKell and Julia to bootstrap
26  * a Fractal application.
27  *
28  * This annotation encapsulates an array of the @FractalItf annotation.
29  *
30  * For example if your are annotating a content class which implements 3 interfaces
31  * and the java.lang.Runnable interface. And if the interface A is provided into a
32  * jar files, so you cannot annotate this interface, you may annotate your class as
33  * follows:
34  *
35  * @FractalComponent
36  * @FractalImportedInterface(
37  * interfaces={
38  * @FractalItf("r", signature="java.lang.Runnable"),
39  * @FractalItf("a",signature="A")
40  * }
41  * )
42  * public class MyContentClass implements A,B,C,Runnable {
43  * (...)
44  * }
45  *
46  * This way the @FractalComponent annotation will look after your interfaces B, and C which are interfaces that you provide
47  * with annotations, and the @FractalImportedInterface will look after your interfaces A and java.lang.Runnable.
