Martin Kouba commented on CDI-726:
----------------------------------

Hm, in CDI 1.2 it was only possible to set the provider once and I remember there was some legal use case for this method (OSGi or something like that). You're right that in CDI 2.0 anyone can set it anytime. The logic seems to be modified in this commit: https://github.com/cdi-spec/cdi/commit/14cd36abb4d039212cf21521a46755b15f4e0a1c#diff-03e83766e93415c9ba16a9dfb42a5ac5. [~antoinesabot-durand] Do you remember the details?

> CDI.setCDIProvider allows to switch the cdi provider at *any* time by *anyone*. This lead to issues integrating multiple libraries doing it + is not a real user facing API, it is actually a server internal.
> Proposal is to deprecate the method, remove its implementation (always throw an IllegalStateException or just do a noop) and finally drop the method after one or two releases since it can't really be used except for very simple apps.
