I wanted to comment on this earlier, but did not understand the difference between a "meta-data complete ejb-jar.xml" and a regular "ejb-jar.xml". So , I dont know what extra information is going to be in the "meta-data complete ejb-jar.xml" , but since it is going to help admins, I think it is a really neat idea to create the .info files . I like the file name as "foo.ear.info", instead of "foo.info". We could also then use WebAdmin to show these files.
I like Mohammad's idea of creating our own temp and putting the .info files under that. This way, I can also put a logger.info under temp, which will help admins troubleshoot any logging issues.
