[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-280?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.sy... ] Antoine Sabot-Durand commented on CDI-280: ------------------------------------------ [~struberg], as I said before I'm not fan of the "contextual" name and I prefer "bean" (Bean instance, Bean Reference) since it's the usage in technical post and books on CDI and other IoC frameworks. My goal here is to have the spec read by end users as well as implementors. IMO, There's enough complex concepts to catch in the spec (remember the discussion on Observer Resolution) to add new hermetic terms were convention brought ones. There are 100% chance that usage keep the simpler one and that the spec would be a bit harder to be read. I'm afraid we won't come on an agreement on time to reprocess all these terms in the Maintenance Release time frame -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
