[jboss-dev] Include Web Beans RI in next JBoss 5 release

What do you mean?
Those are 2 different things. ;-)
At least until Seam3, which is gonna be WB based.

Although it's true that the concept is the same,
but it's the details that are very different:
  - matching diff metadata files to determine deployment type
  - adding different int libs

And WB deployers do a lot more than just add int lib,
they add default metadata if we know deployment is WB:
  - WB interceptor
  - WB servlet listener
  - isolated classloading

There are some pieces I would like to make available for general usage.
e.g. VDF integration layer: getting MC info from ServletContext's attributes
I just need to find an appropriate place, and suggestions?
