Pete Muir closed WELD-297.
--------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 1.0.1.CR1
       Resolution: Rejected
         Assignee: Pete Muir


We won't be doing this to Weld core. We are currently planning to split out the seam JSF support into a seam-faces module.

Reasons:

1) JSF introduces no additional runtime dependencies on Weld core (if there are any, it is a bug). IOW you do not need jsf-api.jar to run a CDI app using Weld
2) the JSF support takes up 9.3k of disk space, and so would not significantly reduce jar size
3) this would increase complexity of Weld for beginners

If you have any other good arguments, please comment and I will consider them

> While it would have been great to have Weld do everything Seam does, I think a very clear line should be painted to prevent bloating.
> I think Weld should get thinner, and its boundaries clearly defined, one way to do that would be to create a weld-jsf.jar (the JSF equivalent of weld-wicket.jar) to cleanly and clearly separate the part of Weld that is JSF dependent (and the part that is not)
