All Known Implementing Classes:

BeanMetadataImpl

public interface ExtendedBeanMetadata
extends BeanMetadata

An extended BeanMetadata that allows specifying if the bean instances are processors or not. Such processors have to be instantiated before instantiating all other singletons, but to avoid breaking the lazy activation of bundles, the Blueprint container needs to be aware of those and not try to load the class to perform some introspection.
