Stating new thread for this topic. Don suggested to use this classpath scanner:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/xbean/trunk/xbean-finder/ in xwork and plugins. It uses ASM to extract class information and annotations,so loading classes can be avoided until the last minute (when you actually need it). I modified convention to use it(not committed), and it is pretty good. Comment away here. musachy -- "Hey you! Would you help me to carry the stone?"
