I might be prepared to work on it, as I have a use for it, but I would need confirmation on how people would want it to work. The JIRA issue seems to just be about making the Scanner class public, so it is possible to write custom scanners. I was thinking of re-using the seam scanner to reduce startup times. I was thinking the configuration would be something like: | <scannerconfig> | <annotations> | <annotation class="com.custom.Annotation" variable="customAnnotationList" /> | </annotations> | <files> | <file pattern="*.customdata.xml" variable="customFileList" /> | </files> | </scannerconfig> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4078192#...
