Adrian's suggestion looks for JBDEPLOY-69 most like what I am after. Unfortunately, it does not do the job. While I get a metadata retrieval at APPLICATION scope, it is empty and does not have the metadata I put in. I'm pretty sure that is the way it works, but I've spent most of the day trying to get all the snapshots working in my local copy of AS, so I could be wrong.
