             Summary: Consider expanding @WithAnnotations utilization
                 Key: CDI-678
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-678
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Tomas Remes
            Priority: Minor


Currently usage of {{@WithAnnotations}} is available only with {{ProcessAnnotatedType}} event. Maybe it could be helpful to expand this option also for other lifecycle events. 

For example I came across this extension https://github.com/wildfly-swarm/wildfly-swarm/blob/master/core/container/src/main/java/org/wildfly/swarm/container/runtime/cdi/configurable/ConfigurableExtension.java
It basically observes all {{ProcessInjectionTarget}} events and tries to find {{@Configurable}} annotation in the related {{AnnotatedType}} (which is available in this case). Allowing to use {{@WithAnnotations}} in this case would solve this problem more gracefully I believe.

It's likely minor enhancement but maybe it could be useful also in another cases.
