Re: [picocontainer-dev] Jason van Zyl's need for Plexus

Nice try guys.

I've updated the testcase to even more clearly show Jason's need :-

    http://svn.codehaus.org/picocontainer/java/2.x/trunk/pico/ 
container/src/test/org/picocontainer/adapters/JasonsTestCase.java

He wants to use addComponent(key, impl), not addComponent(key, impl,  
ComponentParameter, ComponentParameter, ComponentParameter,  
ComponentParameter)

more inline ...

Yes, I'm imagining the BindKey is used internally in DPC /  
ComponentAdapters for matching purposes.

No new method signature - can interop with addComnponent(Object, Class)
