Hi Bogdan,

Happy New Year to you as well!

I totally agree with you. It's up to you ;)
I tried to outsource XImplementation, XInterface and XBinding. I started 
with the DnD functionality for SCAImplementation and JavaImplementation. 
But with other aspects, I have not yet succeeded to do what I want. I 
search a way to add easily new binding, implementation and interface...

Are you agree to create a wiki page dedicated to the SCA Composite 
Introspector [0]?

Best regards,
