At long last, JSR-107 is moving again and has a functional impl (as in it runs). This would be a great candidate for a starter Forge plugin, if someone is interested.

Aside from being a simple use case, the strategy here for Forge is that it could become the recommended way to experiment with the spec as it matures towards final draft, rather than developers messing with Maven Archetypes or copy-paste.

Here's a nice short overview of the spec status from @myfear:

Red Hat is also on this spec EG if I'm not mistaken. Integration with CDI will be happening soon (lots of design discussions about it have been long underway).
