Re: [seam-dev] Identifying which jars contains seam/cdi extensions and programmatic extensions ?
I thought the plan was for JBDS to natively understand Solder annotations to overcome this
problem.
I really don't think that forcing some xml file on extension developers is very clever
- either they would have to use this as the canonical source of info in which case
we're back to programming in XML and it doesn't look good when people ask for
examples of using CDI extensions, or we have to keep this stuff in sync.

Hi,
Talking with Seam/CDI tooling team at EclipseCon and we are still in the dark on how
tooling are supposed to identify CDI extensions that are registered programmatically and
often does not have a beans.xml to "mark" them.
Today we do it by simply scanning jars with *weld*.jar naming pattern (very brittle and
not good for 3rd party extensions).
Furthermore we also have a list of classes to include/exclude since some components in
these jars aren't CDI compliant.
How do we go about identifying these things ?
The idea discussed with Dan/Pete on this topic previously were to add a design-beans.xml
and use that as a marker + list the classes we should load/configure as possible
injection/navigation candidates in the tooling.
I was hoping this were settled before Seam 3 GA but it seem to fallen through the cracks
?
Something I missed ?
