Is there any active development in the area of the JBoss deployers at the 
moment?

The reason that I am asking is because I have been looking at the following 
issue: -

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1517

The solution requires a period to be added to all of the suffixes defined in 
the class SuffixOrderHelper.  There are two additional deployers that add their 
suffixes to the list, these need amending to include a period in the suffix 
added to the list in SuffixOrderHelper.

The DeploymentSorter class should also have the list of defaults removed as 
these are no longer really used, at runtime they are replaced by the suffices 
in SuffixOrderHelper.

For completeness it looks as if all deployers should specify the suffixes of 
the files that they can deploy. e.g. It should be the ear deployer that 
specifies that ears can be deployed.  Making each deployer return the suffixes 
of the items that it can deploy seems to be a fairly small task, there are only 
11 deployers in the default configuration and 2 of these already do specify 
their suffixes.

With the current architecture this then leads to another issue, what happens to 
ordering if multiple deployers can deploy items with the same suffix?

Ideally I would imagine that the suffix would be used to determine what is 
deployable but then the associated deployer would be determined to work out the 
order of deployment. e.g. EJBs and Clients are both packaged in jars but it 
makes sense that the EJBs are deployed first.
