Just recently made some good updates to xbean-finder. Haven't looked at what it would take to switch, but would be happy to add anything we need. A couple of the changes make it possible to find all classes that are assignable to a specific type. Was hoping we could use it to grab all the @Inject points and then use those types to find all class files that relate -- rather than loading all classes which is a big security risk and uses a lot of perm gen space. Had planned to do this in the integration layer on the OpenEJB/Geronimo side, but maybe if it works, we just want to do it right in OWB. Open to thoughts. -David
