[cdi-dev] Time to start working on CDI lite

My argument was not about getting the info but what to do with it. It most times affects our proxies. 

I’ve now also found a small project called dexmaker which can create bytecode for the dalvik VM on the fly

https://github.com/crittercism/dexmaker

I have no idea if this work with ART though.

If this turns out to work fine then we could even move full CDI to android.
But there are lots of experiments in front of us.

LieGrue,
strub

If we leave events in a Lite version, then it won?t be the case, and Weld and OWB will be the only two implementations.

Add guice, Spring, picocontainer, etc to this. There is really no need to go down even further in this road imo. We are not here for world domination. We don?t need to do _every_ situation. Let?s instead do OUR main goal really well.

If you really like to have a lightweight-as-possible DI container, such a project already exists. It is called Apache Avalon [1] and got written in 1999. So it even predates Spring for about 5 years?

I would not even try to standardize the way @Inject works (like Romain said, @Inject doesn't work the same in Weld or Spring), let's leave it like this. If you take back Antoine sentence "This would allow using CDI in constrained environment like mobile or embedded devices", then I don't think events would fit here.

E.g. by removing scanning you could get rid of javassist/asm/etc ? nope, we also have our class proxies which need bytecode tinkering. So remove interceptors and decorators too? Well yea, but we still have normalscoping -> what is left? basically spring prototype and singleton. Hmm.  that?s not that much compared to full CDI. And all that for only 200kByte?
