I'm gonna take a look at it. I was also planning to take a look at Javassist, but I think everyone probably does something similar using the DataInputStream class. That one is really useful, since it matches the terms used in the specification. > I agree that a custom scan path should fasten the app startup time a lot, > usually the annotated classes belong to a certain package in our apps like > > com.mycompany.myproject.* > Yup, that definitely saves some time, since most packages aren't interesting, like application server internal classes or classes from Hibernate. There's no need to scan those.
