ejbjar: find helper classes

[Holger Engels <he...@mercatis.de>]

EJBs do often use several helper classes, that apper as exceptions,
arguments and return values in their signatures. With a little more
reflection, we can find most of them.

.. attached is a diff, that could be applied to revision 1.20 of
GenericDeployTool.java

Holger,

I'm going to hold this over till after the 1.4 release. I have been
considering an alternative approach for a while now and believe it will
give better results. That approach is to use the class dependency
information in much the same was as the <depend> task does. This has two
advantages. It doesn't require the bean classes to be loaded into Ant's VM
and it should add all required classes. The approach you have taken will
add some more classes but not them all (internal classes, the classes used
by the classes that are method parameters, exceptions, etc will not be
included)

Thanks for submitting this.

Conor
