[cdi-dev] Having an official CDI tutorial and user forum

[Radim Hanuš]

Hi Antoine,

meantime I've started to contribute CDI samples to javaee7-samples on
github [1] as Arun Gupta encouraged me [2]

I've got a plenty of usefull still simple examples of several CDI features
based on junit/arquillian tests so that I may contribute them immediatelly
to javaee7-samples with only some simple modifications

If somebody wants to add a sample of a missing CDI feature here [1] please
let me know

Sincerely,
Radim Hanus
