 Although scanning can be easily done on bootstrap time of your application - and shouldn't take long, it is sometime a good idea to integrate Reflections into your build lifecyle.
 With simple Maven/Gradle/SBT/whatever configuration you can save all scanned metadata into xml/json files just after compile time. 
 Later on, when your project is bootstrapping you can let Reflections collect all those resources and re-create that metadata for you,
