The outcome of the call this morning was: 1. Adrian will update the existing InjectionHandler code to use the correct Advisor.getMetadata/setMetadata calls to use the MetaData repository spi rather than the legacy AnnotationRepository. 2. I'm finishing a "sufficient" mapping of the standard javaee annotations to the unified pojo metadata model, integration with the AnnotationMetaDataDeployer, and population of the DeploymentUnit attachment with the merged JBossMetaData 3. Adrian will look at making the pojo view available as an annotation via the MetaData spi to an ejb3 aspect like the org.jboss.ejb3.security.RoleBasedAuthorizationInterceptor to validate that the manageable pojo view drives the container aspects. 4. I'll look at expanding the mapping of annotations to pojo model to custom jboss annotations like the @Cache to CacheConfigMetaData. For this the ext api Andrew is working on is needed as a dependency of the metadata project. 5. Carlo hopes to get out of EAP 4.3 soon.
