Ales, I am not completely familiar with the MC internals, but i guess there might be some place where MC already does annotation scanning (for some other requirement maybe) on the MC bean. Maybe MC could at that point itself "register" appropriate annotation plugins on finding the annotation? Is this possible or is CommonAnnotationAdapter the place where this annotation scanning happens for the first time (the only time?).
