[webbeans-dev] event type with type variable

[Dan Allen]

In several places, the specification reiterates that an event type may not
contain a type variable. However, it appears that this restriction is only
enforced at runtime when the event object is passed to either Event#fire()
or BeanManager#fireEvent() method. I would suggest that an validation check
be added so that the container detects an illegal Event definition at
deployment type. Here's an example of an illegal definition (from my
understanding):

public class VoterRegistration<T> { ... }

@Any Event<VoterRegistration<Democrat>> democratRegisteredEvent;
