Yep, I should have checked the original statement. The javassist website here: http://www.jboss.org/javassist/ states clearly that: <quote> License: You can choose either MPL or LGPL. </quote>
Surprising for a jboss project, but the website clearly says so. The MPL is no problem. So using Scannotation is also fine. I'm still not convinced that adding a 560kb dependency for such a simple task is optimal, but simply getting *any* solution in place for myfaces is better than doing multiple scans. It can always be further improved later..
