=============================================

Some of these are generic cross cutting annotations that should not 
reside in for example, the jboss ejb3 jars.

Carlo had mentioned sometime back that he intends to pull out the 
annotations from ejb3 into a separate module
under javaee project.

I created https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBEE-32  for this.
