Would it be possible to have "trace" logging that would show classes that are scanned and whether annotations were found?  I enabled trace for "AnnotationEnvironmentDeployer" but didn't see enough information.

This is already there:

package org.jboss.deployers.plugins.annotations;

public class DefaultAnnotationEnvironment extends WeakClassLoaderHolder implements AnnotationEnvironment, Serializable

   void putAnnotation(Annotation annotation, ElementType type, String className, Signature signature)
   {
      Class<? extends Annotation> annClass = annotation.annotationType();

      if (log.isTraceEnabled())
         log.trace("Adding annotation @" + annClass.getSimpleName() + " for " + className + " at type " + type + ", signature: " + signature);
