In this case we need to scan classes.
The hard part (and I did it in Hibernate EM) is 1. to find all jars involved: the discovery mechanism is pretty much working by accident and classloader hacking 2. to scan the jar: it's easy for zip or directory based JARs, not so easy for JARS made of different URL prototols and opaque URLs > > On the other side, ORM does the Jandex building thing as well on the > metamodel branch. > So I guess that once we depend on ORM 5 we can get in all cases a Jandex > index. > Question is when that will be? Remember, Hibernate Search is not ORM only. So the discovery mechanism cannot fully depend on an ORM feature not as a hard dep at least. _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
