Re: [hibernate-dev] Scanner contract
What would ScanOptions look like? What about this:
interface ScanOptions {
public boolean scanRootUrlForClasses();
public boolean scanNonRootUrlsForClasses();
public boolean detectHibernateMappingFiles();
}
I think that is the bare minimum amount of information needed to scan.
Depending on how much responsibility we push to the Scanner, this might
need to be altered slightly.

Because you want different filters for different types of look ups.
So if you have scan(PersistenceUnitDescriptor pud, ScanOption...
options) how do you make the link between, say, the first option
applies to class lookups but no other lookups? Or that the options 1
and 2 apply to hbm.xml lookups, option 1 applies to orm.xml lookups?
Etc? You can't. At least not without some form of implicitness.
I need to run but later I will post an example of ScanOptions as I
intended. Maybe that will help...
