So the logic here is: JBoss AS 7 is trying to load the class to see what annotations it has, because if it has annotations like @ManagedBean or @Stateless then JBoss AS 7 needs to prepare it for injection/something?

I think I was a bit vague when I mentioned that org.metawidget.jsp.tagext.html.spring.SpringMetawidgetTag being eligible for annotation scanning. A EE module class (org.metawidget.jsp.tagext.html.spring.SpringMetawidgetTag is considered one as per spec) is eligible for various other things other than annotation scanning. It's eligible for Java EE resource injection for example (@EJB, @Resource etc... on fields/methods)

Could we perhaps say that 'being unable to determine if an eligible class has annotations' and 'being unable to act upon the annotations defined in an eligible class' are (subtly) different things? That the first could be a warning and the latter an error? Because presumably many classes are 'eligible' and this is going to cause problems for JARs with optional dependencies?
{quote}
There's a fixed list of classes (type of classes) which are eligible for such resource injection. This is defined in the Java EE6 platform spec. Tag libraries (like this spring one) belong to that set. 

Having said that, I do think it would be good to have a feature which would allow skipping certain jars (or maybe even more fine grained) from deployment processing.

> We need to be able to specify exceptions to ignore during classpath scanning. This was available in AS6, we need it in AS7, or something similar. Please see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFORGE-156
