[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-170) Either ditch or fix @New

Either ditch or fix @New ------------------------ Key: CDI-170 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-170 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Bug Components: Concepts, Contexts Affects Versions: 1.0 Reporter: Mark Struberg Assignee: Pete Muir Fix For: 1.1 (Proposed) The specification of @New is currently not really usable. It is really only for creating injected but unmanaged and unintercepted instances of a class. But this usecase is weird and imo just not needed. If the class under construction is an 'old' Pojo (without @Inject, etc) then it doesn't need to get managed. And it also doesn't provide any benefit over just using new Pojo(); Also you cannot @New classes which don't have a default ct. I just found no sane scenario where we cannot use a producer method instead. Can we simply deprecate @New?
