[Antoine Sabot-Durand (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-280?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12923159#comment-12923159 ] 

Antoine Sabot-Durand commented on CDI-280:
------------------------------------------

I agree [~struberg], it's quite confusing. Especially due to the fact that in 1.1provide Bean Meta data injection. For instance, section 5.5.8 could be a real puzzle to read (injecting {{Bean<T>}} in my Bean ?!).

> We should go to the spec and look up all 'bean' words as they are 5 different meaning the word 'bean' is used for
> * The Bean<T> extends Contextual<T>. Should be referred as 'Bean' or 'CDI Bean'
> * The class which gets scanned. Should be referred as 'Bean Class' to
> * The instance stored in the context. Should be referred to as 'Contextual Instance'
> * The proxy for a Contextual Instance should be referred to as 'Contextual Reference'
> * The type of an injection point should be referred to as 'InjectionPoint Type'
