hi folks! I had an idea about how we could implement CDI-4.0 without all the overhead it brings. The goal is to keep OWB as light as possible but as compatible as possible.
The idea is to use the standard eclipse jcdi package and split it in 2 parts via maven-shade plugin or simple unzip/zip repackaging. This is necessary as JBoss refused to do it properly inside the spec itself but forced the full 'light' (which is actually adding 30% more code to the CDI api) on all users, regardless whether they need it or not. Here you can find more information about the background of the split and how it's done: https://github.com/jakartaee/cdi/pull/582 <https://github.com/jakartaee/cdi/pull/582> I'd like to do the same, but for now just implement the clasic Jakarta EE part without the 'CDI lite' overhead. If we later find some time we can still implement CDI-lite as either an OWB plugin or even as a standard portable extension. This can be done here or as part of TomEE for example. I think we might be rather quick to get things going that way. Wdyt about that idea? LieGrue, strub
