Well, the assumption of course is that we can handed a aggregated/composite index over all jars. There is a caveat though, we keep talking that we get the index from a container or from ORM, but we need to take care of building our own index as well in case we don’t get a Jandex index passed. In this case we need to scan classes.

On the other side, ORM does the Jandex building thing as well on the metamodel branch. So I guess that once we depend on ORM 5 we can get in all cases a Jandex index. Question is when that will be?
