this does not seem to unconditionally disable jar scanning, though?
(Not sure you're saying that this was the intention.)
It merely defers the decision to scan to the values of the tldScan and
tldSkip patterns which in turn may be set in property files or
otherwise default to system properties (from code, I'm guessing).
