I actually partially misled Rostislav on this on IRC - sorry. Currently,
jaxws api are added to any deployment, given a jaxws client can live
everywhere. They're part of javaee api after all.
We could probably figure out a way to have a DUP for checking for the
existence of @WebService annotation and print a warning if the
webservices subsystem is not there.

This said, I believe the mentioned silent behaviour is still an issue in
some cases; for instance when having a @Foo annotated class in a given
deployment which does not depend on the module providing Foo.
