[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-245) Promote the right way how extensions should communicate with each other during container initialization

Mark Struberg commented on CDI-245:
-----------------------------------

+1 for not allowing field injection into cdi extensions.

I do not get the other stuff. Of course an injected Extension is only a 'reference. But effectively the only difference is Bean#create() which doesn't create anything. For the 'injection' purpose the 2 cases are identical. 

My main point is: before we introduce anything new (BM#getExtensions(), etc) to allow inter-extension communication, we shall do it the CDI way. And Extensions are already available for injection in CDI-1.0 - just not at boot time yet. We might easily add this without imo.

> This is not clear right now. The spec allows (does not forbid) extensions to fire regular events via {{BeanManager}} and I believe this should be _the right way_. See also CDI-109 discussion. However we should also state that extensions _may not fire container lifecycle events_ as this could lead to unexpected results (and it's pretty broken imho).
