No problem!
And this is actually not something glassfish specific (so you won't find
it in the glassfish doc), it is defined in JavaEE5 platform spec and
also in javadoc for various JavaEE5 schemas.
JavaEE5 platform spec:
Section EE8.4 Deployment
The attribute metadata-complete is used in the deployment descriptor to
specify whether the descriptor is complete.
Javadoc for "metadata-complete" attribute in ejb schema (ejb-jar_3_0.xsd):
<xsd:attribute name="metadata-complete" type="xsd:boolean">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>
The metadata-complete attribute defines whether this
deployment descriptor and other related deployment
descriptors for this module (e.g., web service
descriptors) are complete, or whether the class
files available to this module and packaged with
this application should be examined for annotations
that specify deployment information.
If metadata-complete is set to "true", the deployment
tool must ignore any annotations that specify deployment
information, which might be present in the class files
of the application.
If metadata-complete is not specified or is set to
"false", the deployment tool must examine the class
files of the application for annotations, as
specified by the specifications.
</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
