James Carman commented on ANN-624:
----------------------------------

What I'm saying is that we should move the JarVisitor stuff down into Hibernate Annotations.  So, you'd do something like this...

public void addAutodiscoveredEntities()
{
  1.  Find all classes on the classpath (thread context classloader?) that have the @Entity annotation on them.
  2.  Call addAnnotationClass() using each of those classes.
}

This way, I don't have to load up the EntityManager stuff at all and I can use pure Hibernate.

> The EntityManager implementation contains an "autodiscovery" feature that would be nice to have added to the core Hibernate library.  Maybe we could add an AnnotationConfiguration.addAutodiscoveredEntities() method?
