[cdi-dev] Question regarding producer methods and default no-arg constructor

[Romain Manni-Bucau]

Hi Michael,

1) yes if the bean is scanned as well
2) you can use @Alternative but using <scan />, @Vetoed, or @Typed()
for CDI 1.0 should work as well and are maybe less hacky since you'll
never activate this alternative right?
