This is related to JBAS-8060. The annotation scanning library uses a filenamed based filter for skipping annotation scanning for deployments. Ideally, relying on deployment file names in itself isn't a good way of filtering out deployments. Although it's a good to have feature for end user deployments, it shouldn't really be used for deployments shipped within JBoss AS.

From what I understand, the real fix is to add a (empty?) jboss-scanning.xml to such deployments which shouldn't be
scanned. Or maybe there's a better way based on metadata (version)? This task will look into how we can get rid of the file name based filtering for AS shipped deployments.
