If its a pure annotation deployment it would create the metadata from the annotations. The steps should be:
  | 1. annotation scanning deployer provides sets of annotations based on the types the plugins have defined. This is used to create the base metadata.

Okay, I'm working on a component that does the creation of metadata from annotations. We can hook that to a deployer.
