ComponentDescriptor is never used in method setupCoreComponent in class AbstractCoreComponentInitializationPhase

protected ComponentDescriptor setupCoreComponent( String role,
BasicComponentConfigurator configurator,
PlexusConfiguration c,
PlexusContainer container )
throws ContainerInitializationException
{
String implementation = c.getAttribute( "implementation", null );

if ( implementation == null )

{ //TODO: put plexus.conf in constants and change to plexus.xml String msg = "Core component: '" + role + "' + which is needed by plexus to function properly cannot " + "be instantiated. Implementation attribute was not specified in plexus.conf." + "This is highly irregular, your plexus JAR is most likely corrupt."; throw new ContainerInitializationException( msg ); }

ComponentDescriptor componentDescriptor = new ComponentDescriptor();

componentDescriptor.setRole( role );

componentDescriptor.setImplementation( implementation );

componentDescriptor.setRealmId( container.getContainerRealm().getId() );

PlexusConfiguration configuration = new XmlPlexusConfiguration( "containerConfiguration" );

configuration.addChild( c );

try

{ configurator.configureComponent( container, configuration, container.getContainerRealm() ); }

catch ( ComponentConfigurationException e )

{ // TODO: don't like rewrapping the same exception, but better than polluting this all through the config code String message = "Error configuring component: " + componentDescriptor.getHumanReadableKey(); throw new ContainerInitializationException( message, e ); }

return componentDescriptor;
}

I didn't see any other classes are using the returned componentDescriptor?
