add support for 'optional' beans -------------------------------- Key: CDI-35 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-35 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Mark Struberg sometimes it's neat to mark a bean as @Optional depending if a specified class can get loaded or not.
