[webbeans-dev] Basing the RI on the JBoss MC

A number of people have suggested basing the RI on the JBoss MC. As I see it, the core services we need in WB: * Defining scoped components, backed by EJBs if needed * Defining bindings * Defining (custom) scopes * Managing lifecycle of components through contexts * Integration with EL * Resolution of components * Support for interceptors * Observer/observable * Deployment of Web Beans jars If we use the MC we get ootb: * flexible deployment system * Defining components * DI (inc into constructors) * Support for building custom XML deployment descriptors * Support for applying AOP which will get us going pretty quick But * it introduces quite a lot of dependencies which we don't directly control (JBoss MC, JBoss XB etc.) * it still seems to be under pretty heavy development (docs are very incomplete) * what happens if WB RI uses one version of MC and the AS uses another? WDYT?
