I very much agree with YunFeng that we should provide a mechanism to link deployment plan and deployment descriptor. Even at present the GEP deployment plan wizards are not able to get information from deployment descriptor (like security roles, ejb-ref, resource-ref etc) or when respective annotations are used in the source files.
I am currently working on the issue of having GEP Deployment Plan get the necessary information from web.xml or annotations. I believe that once we are able to retrieve necessary information from deployment desciptor, we can easily extend the approach to add also.
