+100 I think it might be time to address https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-1213
and get rid of commons annotations and just consume the Jandex index resp. build our own.

The bigger road block for this atm is the programmatic configuration which uses the proxy 
annotations approach from commons annotations. However, with the new metamodel we have
we should be able to instantiate the model classes directly and skip the whole proxy business.
