Stuart Douglas commented on JBSEAM-1342:
----------------------------------------

How about this:

Reduce the scanners responsibility to simply enumerating all files, rather than calling handleItem for each file.

When the scanner is done a different class processes them, e.g. have a class to process the java components etc.

This file information should be made available to components through the use of a built in application scoped component. e.g.

<component class="org.jboss.seam...." name="myFileInformation" />

This built in component could then also provide helper methods to make it easier for the end user e.g.

Set<Class> getClassesWithAnnotation(Annotation a); //gets seam and groovy classes
Set<String>  getFilesThatMatchPattern(String pattern);
Set<Component> getGetAllComponents();

> In our project we would like to use the JBoss Seam Scanner class to browse over our EJB classes in search for our custom @Config annotations (see http://cup-of-java.blogspot.com/). Unfortunately the handleItem method on the Scanner class is only package visible. This prevents generic reusability of this really powerful Scanner class. Could you guys make the handleItem method public?
