This sample shows how to define a dynamic dependency using annotations.
Using annotation, you can still dynamically configure from your @Init method
some dependencies which has a "name" attribute. Such dependencies will then 
be injected after your @Init method, but before your @Start method (if the dependencies
are required), or after your @Start method (if the dependencies are optional).

When you declare a Component:

- the configuration (if any) is first injected (updated callback).
- then all required dependencies are injected, except "named" dependencies whose required flag and filter can be configured
dynamically from the init method.
- then the init method (annotated with @Init) is invoked; And from there you are then able to return a Map that will be used
to configure the required flag and the filter of all named dependencies.
- then the start callback (annotated with @Start) is invoked when all required dependencies are injected, including named 
dependencies that have been configured from the init method.

In this sample, the "DynamicDependency" Components configures in its "init" method the dependency having a "storage" name. 
the dependency "required" flag and filter string are loaded from a Configuration PID 
(see the "Dynamic Dependency Configuration" PID, from webconsole), which is defined using 
Bnd MetaType Annotations.


So, first, click on the "dynamicdep.annot.bndrun" descriptor, and run it.
Then go to webconsole (http://localhost:8080/system/console/configMgr), and configure the "Dynamic Dependency Configuration" PID. 
then just type "log warn" under the gogo shell:

log warn

Then you normally see something like:
