Do what you want, I'll fix it later. This needs to work on the classpath notion. A visitor on the classpath (a concept that doesn't exist but I suggested you write on an earlier thread) should not be recursing into nested deployments. The notion of archive will be removed from the VFS to the deployers anyway, see the other thread where Scott and I were arguing about this. Manifest/Non-Manifest or more accurately (external/non-external) would be an attribute on the classpath visit.
