Yeah, I thought the same too. What would be great would be some sort of "annotation scanner" where you can register a "scanning job" for system startup so that the classpath scanning has to take place only once and the scanning jobs get called back about the results. Sure, if a scanning job registers something like "**" all packages get scanned and startup time is slow again, but this is on the responsibility of the developer then. I can help to startup a commons sandbox project and to work out a specification for the library, but my spare time for coding is very low :-( Ciao, Mario
