-----------------------------------

Hi Jacquelle!
Thanks for your effort, but please note that the current behaviour is not a bug 
but a feature! As explained on the mail thread you already posted: the spec is 
contradictory in itself and the BDA behaviour for alternatives, interceptors 
and decorators is _not_ backed by the Spec, _not_ backed by the TCK (we pass 
those parts of the TCK easily) and completely sick and weird (personal opinion 
of course). So I'd rather go and report a spec issue than changing our 
implementation. 

The reason: if I e.g. need to enable an <alternative> _inside_ a JAR, then it's 
completely useless! Because there is NO way to enable this alternative from 
lets say your webapp _without_ repackaging your JAR every time. Same is true 
for interceptors and decorators of course.

> This issue was discussed in great detail in June 
> (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openwebbeans-dev/201006.mbox/browser)
>  on the developers forum.  The title of the thread is "problems with lack of 
> archive-centric BeanManager".  
> The main problem is described below (snippet from discussion):
> "...Our current design does not permit either of the following scenarions, 
> AFAICT:
>   b.jar and c.jar both enable the interceptor defined in a.jar
> (treated as a duplicate)
>   Exactly one of b.jar and c.jar enables the interceptor defined in
> a.jar (ends up enabled for beans from either archive if enabled in one
> -- this is in the more troubling neighborhood)..."
