Hi All
Same from my side. My experience eg with Google guys has been very positive and
constructive. I would expect there is a real chance to turn the former conflict into a
widely accepted standard, which would be very valuable for any future evolution in the
Java eco-system.
Best

FYI - I've sent a note to the various folks from Google, Pivotal et al, I'll let
Antoine explain the CDI 2.0 proposal to them and I'm sure they'll either join this
mailing list / discussion or we'll quickly find out there's no appetite and we can
move on.
Cheers,
Martijn

though as those involved in the EC (Martijn, Badr/MoroccoJUG,..) could probably check with
the PMO how to handle a case where the Maintenance Lead of a JSR was not in the position
to continue. I last met Jürgen Höller about a year ago in Copenhagen, so for Pivotal's
part as Co Spec Lead, I guess he or the likes of Josh Long could be best to speak to.
Happy to get you in touch with them if you want.

>>> In theory this could also be part of a new JSR (CDI 2) as long as none of the
enhancements you have in mind break the existing API of JSR 330. The scope of CDI 2 to
work in an SE/standalone or more lightweight environment than Java EE environment raises a
good question of package names like " javax.enterprise.inject.*" So maybe there
is room for synergies in a package namespace other than "javax.enterprise" at
least for new things you have in mind.

discussion here.

my first idea was to go see what we could add in JSR 330 to make it a true specification
that could be the first module of CDI. My idea at that time was to discuss with JSR 330
owner to see if we could bring basic concept we have in CDI to AtInject spec. In my mind
the main features would have been:

the same level than javax.enterprise.inject.Instance<T>. That would have included
support for AnnotationLiteral and TypeLiteral as well

get access to BeanManager from JNDI or CDI class)

since I don’t have contact there). I checked with JCP what could be done if we’d like to
see an evolution of JSR 330 and the owner doesn’t care, there seems to have solutions but
I let it aside since we were in the middle of CDI 1.2 MR at that time.

discussion and negotiation would be needed to be sure that this new AtInject wouldn’t
contain features incompatible with CDI. So it’d be very time consuming with no guarantee
to get what we’d need at the end.

impact CDI 2.0 new features.
