## Annotation Type ComponentType

-     @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
      @Target(value=METHOD)
      @Incubating
      public @interface ComponentType

  Declares a custom `ComponentSpec` type. The following example demonstrates how to register a custom component type using a plugin with a `ComponentType` annotation. Furthermore the plugin creates an instance of SampleComponent named 'sampleComponent'.

       interface SampleComponent extends ComponentSpec {}
       class DefaultSampleComponent extends BaseComponentSpec implements SampleComponent {}

       apply plugin: MySamplePlugin

       class MySamplePlugin extends RuleSource {
           @ComponentType
           void register(ComponentTypeBuilder builder) {
               builder.defaultImplementation(DefaultSampleComponent)
           }

           @Mutate
           void createSampleLibraryComponents(ModelMap componentSpecs) {
               componentSpecs.create("sampleComponent")
           }
       }
