Tools like Reflections [1], Scannotaions [2] and many more [3] provide
the ability to find instances of annotations on the classpath. They
also provide the ability to find subclasses of an interface. This kind
of tooling is commonly needed by Java EE. Different tools use
different approaches to gather the information, but it is definitely
something that could be captured when building a module. At the very
least, it is important to ensure that these tools continue to work.
