Annotation Scraping in OSGi

[David Blevins <da...@visi.com>]

Anyone ever manage to find out if there's any portable way to scrape a  
bundle for annotated classes? (note distinctly different than scraping  
a class for annotations)

Technically speaking there really is no portable way to do it now on  
top of any ClassLoader as getting a list of classes is not part of the  
standard ClassLoader API (even getting a list of URLs is not).  I have  
to expect that we might likely be looking at a similar situation.
