/**
 * The {@code @Deployment} is used to define which methods should be be considered as deployment producers. Arquillian
 * support
 * two types of deployment units, a {@link Archive} or a {@link Descriptor}.
 * <p>
 * A deployment represent the isolation level of your test, that being a single JavaArchive or a multi module
 * EnterpriseArchive.
 * <p>
 * The deployment producer will be executed to create the deployment before the Test run, this to detect environment
 * problems as soon as
 * possible.
 * <p>
 * <p>
 * Usage Example:<br/>
 * <pre><code>
 * @Deployment
 * public static WebArchive create() {
 *      return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class);
 * }
 *
 * @Deployment
 * public static Descriptor create() {
 *      return Descriptors.create(HornetQDescriptor.class);
 * }
 * </code></pre>
