You really need to learn to explain things from first princples. I don't even understand if there is a question in your post let alone what it is or what problem you are considering. Assume I know nothing about AnnotatedElementMetaDataLoader (which I don't, other than it exists - you wrote it and I've never reviewed this code :-) or how it fits into the MC deployment protocol.
