Why doesn't JSF 2.0 RI (Mojarra) scan my class' annotations?

I have a War and Jar project in my Eclipse-based JSF project. I have decided to use annotations to declare my FacesConverter, (among a myriad other things), rather than declare it using my faces-config.xml.
@FacesConverter(value="passwordFieldStringConverter")
public class PasswordFieldStringConverter implements Converter {
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, String arg2) throws ConverterException {
try {
return arg2.getBytes("UTF-16BE");
}
catch(UnsupportedEncodingException uee) {
Assert.impossibleException(uee);
}
return(null);
}
public String getAsString(FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, Object arg2) throws ConverterException {
try {
return new String((byte[]) arg2, "UTF-16BE");
}
catch(UnsupportedEncodingException uee) {
Assert.impossibleException(uee);
}
return(null);
}
}
And then I use passwordFieldStringConverter directly in my .xhtml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:sec="http://www.springframework.org/security/facelets/tags">
<ui:composition>
<f:view>
<f:loadBundle basename="landingPage.bundle" var="bundle" />
<ui:decorate template="/WEB-INF/jsf_helpers/htmlShell.xhtml">
<ui:param name="PageTitleParam" value="#{bundle.pageTitle}" />
<h:form>
<h:dataTable var="rowVar" value="#{userListContainer.users}">
<f:facet name="header"><h:outputText value="Users you are currently managing:" /></f:facet>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Screen Name" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{rowVar.screenName}" />
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Password" />
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{rowVar.password}">
<f:converter converterId="passwordFieldStringConverter" />
</h:outputText>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
</h:form>
</ui:decorate>
</f:view>
</ui:composition>
</html>
JSF is supposed to scan the jars in my War at deployment-time and detect which classes have annotations on them (and auto-configure the application accordingly). My problem is that JSF is apparently not detecting the classes I have which sport annotations.
The War project has all of my .xhtml files as well as the project's faces-config.xml, my Jar project has all of my faces related Java code (action beans, managed beans, custom converters, etc.)
