Apache Dubbo Component

Java SDK (apache/dubbo)

Descriptions

From the documentation description, it seems that the DubboReference annotation is used in Spring, but it belongs to the dubbo-common package. Should we migrate it? Even if we don't change its package name.

The DubboReference annotation is in the dubbo-common package to keep it separate from a specific framework like Spring. Even though it's used a lot with Spring, putting it in the core package helps keep Dubbo flexible and able to work with other systems too. The special code that makes it work with Spring is in a separate module, so everything stays organized. Changing its location would break a lot of projects, so we should not migrate it.
