IMHO the verifier and DDBeans should definitely be separate.
Presumably there will be some in-memory representation of the deployment
information for EARs, EARs, JARs, etc. as well as a ClassLoader or some
such where the actual classes are available. I think the verifier and
DDBeans would both want to operate based on these. If the JSR-88 server
impl wants to verify, it can populate the object tree and then run the
verified on it, and if the server wants to verify it will likely already
have the object tree and can just run the verifier.
In any case, it also strikes me as better design to separate these
two bits of functionality ("configure J2EE metadata" and "validate
the contents of an EAR") instead of unnecessarily tying them together.
Finally, I'll be happy to contribute the
javax.enterprise.deployment classes, but per the above I don't think this
is necessary for starting on the verifier.
