[cdi-dev] @New deprecation: when will be "real"

[Antoine Sabot-Durand]

Hi Luc,

> I've been using CDI-1.0 for a long time, and one of the features used in my project is @New qualifier.

I can assure you that there new things in CDI 1.1 ;). Anyway thanks for the feedback, I’m sure people that worked hard on 1.1 will appreciate.

> But today, I got to the @New section of docs, where it is told that the annotation is deprecated.

Nothing planned for @New withdrawal but you should be ready for its removal in CDI 2.0.
Anyway, it’s rather easy to with to @Dependent bean to avoid the usage of @New. And if you really need it, it’s quite easy to create tour own extension that register a the @New version of each of your beans.
