Deprecate before dropping CDI.setCDIProvider -------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-726 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-726 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Java SE Integration Affects Versions: 2.0 .Final Reporter: Romain Manni-Bucau Priority: Blocker 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.
