The problem with that is that the majority of the time this would be a mistake on the users part (at the moment it is 100% of the time, as we only deploy stuff we know how to process).

I think that ideally this should be pluggable. It would be easy enough to make DeploymentRootMountProcessor handle different file types (for instance add an AttachmentList of known REAL file types, and then install a DUP before it to add .ddl to the list).

Using capabilities and requirements we could probably add something similar to the deployment scanner as well, basically your subsystem would look for the deployment scanner capability, and if it is installed we could have some API to add additional file types (although this may be a bit racey, as the service may not know all file types for the initial scan, which could give odd results in some circumstances. There is probably a solution to this but I can't think of one off the top of my head).

It would be good if the logic can be changed such that any thing other than with extension jar,war,ear and zip to consider them as file based deployments rather than zip archive based deployments.
