Change name of the @Observes Reception attribute to "notified"
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CDI-17
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/CDI-17
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Javadoc and API
    Affects Versions: 1.0
            Reporter: Dan Allen
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.1


As of the CDI 1.0 specification, the name of the Reception attribute on 
@Observes is "receive". The patch release of the API (SP1) changes the name to 
"notifyObserver", so a change is already being considered. Therefore, I'd like 
to suggest a better name that would read more fluently. That name is "notified".

Let us compare the three cases:

1. @Observes(receive = IF_EXISTS)
2. @Observes(notifyObserver = IF_EXISTS)
3. @Observes(notified = IF_EXISTS)

Of the three, notifyObserver breaks the flow of the sentence the most. On the 
other hand, notified reads nicely, including with the TransactionPhase 
attribute included:

@Observes(notified = IF_EXISTS, during = TransactionPhase.AFTER_SUCCESS)
