Actually... I got it working! (MyFaces, Weld, pax-cdi and pax-web-jetty) -
it was my fault with proxies for annotations.

But "What I had to change" is still valid - I can try proposing a PR with
these changes and ask for review.

best regards

>  - in pax-web, 
> org.ops4j.pax.web.extender.war.internal.model.WebApp#addListener()
> has to skip duplicates (I saw several other duplicates for listeners, EL
> resolvers, etc and I didn't have time to fix it)
>  - in pax-cdi, org.ops4j.pax.cdi.spi.AbstractCdiContainer#contextClassLoader

>  - in pax-cdi only pax-cdi-undertow-weld had correct JSF integration - I

> A.2.4)
>  - pax-cdi-jetty-weld didn't pass correct "org.ops4j.pax.cdi.BeanManager"
> context attribute
>  - weld 2.4.6.Final started to require javax.ejb package - weld
> 2.4.5.Final works fine
>  - pax-cdi-extensions actually had to export the packages of both
