Sure, your right, I was thinking it could also show up at the descriptor level. That would be silly.

On Alex's point, these just need to be added as attachments by the EarStructure
and checked by the relevant parsing deployer. 

Good point, the EarStructure is where this should be done. The AltDD interface would need to be in the deployer project so that the general handling of the alt path can be handled in AbstractVFSParsingDeployer.

If were using the AltDD interface as the typed path/key, wouldn't the programtic usage be:

  | addAttachment(Class<T> type, T attachment);
  | VFSDeployment d = new VFSDeployment(ejbjar);
  | AltDD altDD = ...("al.ternatelocation");
  | d.addAttachment(AltDD.class, altDD);
