I would like to start putting together the "jboss-scanning.xml" files 
that will exclude/include certain classes (as you mentioned here 
http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/JBoss5custommetadatafiles).  Would 
it be possible to have "trace" logging that would show classes that are 
scanned and whether annotations were found?  I enabled trace for 
"AnnotationEnvironmentDeployer" but didn't see enough information.

Thanks,
Scott
