Which part don't you understand? What I'm writing is the infrastructure
to write metadata models with annotations so you can:

1) build them from config files (most likely xml)

2) they update into other views like jsr88/custom management views
and can be changed by them

3) they are hierarchical in terms of being overridable at
server/deployment/class/instance level, etc.

4) a user can create one programatically and then create a component
without all the xml crap (pseudo code)

  | SessionBeanMetaData sessionBean = ...
  | ServiceMetaData service = EJBHelper.createService(sessionMBean);
  | serviceController.install(service);
  | 

5) It is relatively easy for the developer to add to the model
and have it propogate throughout these usecases without
writing extra code (which they almost certainly won't do :-). 
i.e. it will use default rules/conventions or you can add annotations to 
override the conventions.
