Obviously it must be after classloading and before real, so I chose pre-real, leaving some classloader modifications for post-cl still open.

It should be based on VFS/javassist usage to avoid introducing the annotations into an incorrect class loader that cannot be determined during the structure phase. | That's what I'm doing - VFS/javassist. ;-) But like I said, structure phase is not the right place to do this, OSGi wise. e.g. we want to scan for @Stateful, but java-ee.jar bundle is not yet installed - it will only be pulled in by my apps javax.ejb.* import - so in structure phase we won't be able to resolve any @Stateful annotation.
