[Antoine Sabot-Durand (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-280?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12951333#comment-12951333 ] 

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

As mentioned in one of my previous comment the term "Bean Metadata" is already widely used in the spec in 5.5.8 for this concept. Other places in chapter 11 talk about "the Bean Interface". I don't understand your point :  are suggesting replacing the term "Bean Metadata" for "Bean" ?
On the orher hand the term "Bean" is already used in a lot of place (like 2.2) and nowhere it point to Bean<T>.

So again as I stated twice in this ticket, if we agree on the terms "Bean Class" and "Bean Metadata" (which are in use in the spec) and want to be consistent "Bean Instance" and "Bean Reference" makes sense. I agree that we should avoid using the lonely term "Bean" in the spec but should keep it's usage for the day-to-day work of our users to abbreviate "Bean Instance" or "Bean reference".
