This should be served by MDR (metadata repository) subproject of MC: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/jboss-mdr/trunk/ ...which as I understand is able to collect type information without the need for classloading (via Javassist). Something I'd discussed a bit with Ales awhile back is refactoring jboss-metadata to instead of using reflection a la: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/metadata/trunk/src/main/j... ...to instead read from MDR. I admittedly haven't yet digged too much here, but since you ask the question... ;) S, ALR
