An update on current status:

With some more tempering in weld core, I am able to get a build of Weld on JDK 8 and 11 (see Travis build on that PR). Latest PR that allows it is here - https://github.com/weld/core/pull/1981
I've tested (JDK 8) snapshotted versions of Weld, Arq and Arq-weld-container and basically any tests not requiring EE container were passing.
Since I'll be leaving earlier today, I plan on starting the core release on Mon.

I still expect some minor issues with release plugin (since we can only release a subset compared to what we normally do), but that should be solvable.
After that I plan on spending some time playing with CI setup to tweak it for as much testing as we can do with weld 4 and without EE server so that for Alpha2 we already have a solid automated test base (once again).

Regards and have a nice weekend
Matej
