First, Simo added [meiyo] to the sandbox. Now, some of the guys from the various JEE-related communities have expressed interest in working with class scanning here at Commons. What we would propose to do is start with the code of Geronimo's xbean-finder, which scans classes by reading bytecode to populate meta-structures, thereby sparing permgen space whenever possible. We plan to carefully prune and polish that code, pull in the best ideas from [meiyo] (Simo and/or any of the rest of you Commons developers are of course welcome to participate as always!), and add a single-scan SPI strategy to allow the majority of consumers to share the impact of scanning. For my own part, I hope to be able to contribute such that the final API can accommodate most if not all conceivable use-cases for classpath scanning, while not becoming too unwieldy. We'd like to get started ASAP (and obviously nothing stops me from going ahead and taking the first steps). I would also request our new chair grant sandbox karma to:
