[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-377?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Antoine Sabot-Durand commented on CDI-377: ------------------------------------------ Romain, I don't understand the need for another descriptor. Providing this exclusion mechanism in beans.xml seems portable on Java EE and SE. Reuben proposal to provide an <exclude jar/> with a lis or a pattern seems the simpler choice. Now we could also decide to provide a bean-discovery mode in which we do not to allocate beans in beans archives if the application doesn't define injection points with classes from these bean archive (if you don't use these classes as beans sot they're not beans). This solution would be more elegant IMO and simpler for devs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
