Yes, scanning per JAR is needed, I did put it in the requirements wiki
for future annotation work.

Right now, it's either:
1) use the slow AnnotationMetaDataDeployer everywhere
2) use WarAnnotationMetaDataDeployer for web stuff and
OptAnnotationMetaDataDeployer elsewhere
Solution 2) is used.

For Carlo: You can update OptAnnotationMetaDataDeployer as you need,
web annotations processing is not done there. Your change looks ok to
me.
