That's one way of doing it.
You can either pick-up the WMD we already create
and fill it with your info.
Or you can have Rails predetermined WMD
and then check what exactly we do with merging.

As long as it's soon enough.
Dunno what soon enough is in your case.
But definitely before WMD get's used in REAL stage. ;-)

Yes.
But, like I already said, you have different scopes of attachments.
Pick the one that suites your purpose best.
e.g. predetermined, transient, transient-managed, ...

My jboss-rails.deployer deployer jarfile contains a jruby.jar, which I'd like to be available to anything it deploys.  I was hoping I could provide it (and other jars) via the MetaData.  This is one of the bits I feel I'm missing by calling MainDeployer.deploy(...) and process() directly, instead of using the MetaData functionality.

This looks to me like Seam-int functionality I just did:
