https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/jboss-deployers/trunk/deployers-spi/src/main/java/org/jboss/deployers/spi/annotations/AnnotationEnvironment.java
Apart from
boolean hasClassAnnotatedWith(String annotationName);
all the methods seem to load up classes, e.g.
Set<Element<Annotation, Class<?>>> classIsAnnotatedWith(String  
annotationName);
Set<Element<Annotation, Field>> classHasFieldAnnotatedWith(String  
annotationName);

So if something is annotated with the annotations, it seems to load up  
the Field, Method, Constructor & Class that has been annotated?
